SECRET TECHNIQUES

Very, Very Far adds a twist on the spirit of Belgian mixed fermentation brewing by utilizing a non-traditional wine yeast, Torulaspora delbrueckii.* The Torulaspora yeast feasts on the simple sugars before fermentation is completed with the addition of a traditional Belgian yeast strain. The symbiotic fermentation causes an elevated ethyl ester fruit profile in the final beer.

*Pronounced “Toe-rule-a-spore-a”
