ABV: 7.8%

Summer 2026

Mezcal Barrel Aged Mice En Place

TASTING NOTES

A smokey, vegetal array of spirit, agave, and oak from a two year rest in Mezcal barrels acts as Grand Marshal to this colorful parade of Captain Beefheart-esque weirdness. Gently tart, a rush of Pink Starburst juiciness from the Saguaro and Prickly Pear cactus fruits plays first fiddle to the floral, tangerine contributions of our native, wild yeasts. Mid-palate demonstrates nuanced vegetal tones of baked agave and cactus flesh lending structure to a bright, furious finish of nectarine, prickly black pepper, lemon peel, and rustic, desert funk

COLLABORATION

Brewed in collaboration with O.H.S.O. Brewing out of Arizona, we reimagined Bière de Miel, a relatively esoteric Belgian style of honey saison. Typically made with at least 25% honey, we opted to augment the honey with cactus derived sugars from a potent blend of both Prickly Pear and Saguaro cactus fruit, Agave nectar, all punctuated with hand picked Arizona desert lemons. Bière de Cactus? Sure, why not?
