Poivre, Pas Poivre, J'y Vais 2024

Our 2024 edition of Poivre Pas Poivre, J’y Vais! is a blend of spontaneously fermented beers from 2020 and inoculated beers that have aged in oak barrels. The beers were inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast harvested from honey and Saccharomyces bayanus collected from an apple. The blend was then macerated with tansy flowers, creeping comfrey, and dune pepper. The carbonation occurs in the bottle using organic clover honey from Gaspésie.

The ingredients come from the Quebec terroir. The beers are brewed with 35% raw wheat and 65% malted barley, and we use only aged hops during the boil. The characteristic flavor of our beers is always present; a balanced acidity and peppery aromas compose the tasting profile of Poivre Pas Poivre, J’y Vais!

To fully enjoy each aroma in this beer, we recommend serving it in a coupe. Ideal storage and serving temperature is between 6 and 12 degrees Celsius.

This evolving beer gains complexity with age. To enjoy the fruit at its best, we recommend consuming it within three years of bottling. Unfiltered, unpasteurized.

*For storage, keep the bottles out of direct sunlight and upright, as acidic beers may affect the metal cap over time.

Aging potential: 5 years
