The Open Work Pinot Noir
Spontaneous Ale w/ Pinot Noir Grapes
Brewed with a traditional turbid mash of 70% pilsner malt and 30% raw wheat and boiled for 4 hours with aged hops, inoculated solely with our brewery air, and blended from casks of different ages and characteristics, The Open Work is our highest expression of respect for the near-forgotten brewing tradition that lets nature unfold without intervention, revealing its complexity and beauty.
The Open Work Pinot Noir is conditioned on pinot noir grapes from Michaelangelo Vineyards in Long Island, harvested in late September and macerated in whole clusters with skin and stem contact. It is bright and beautiful with clean, unmuddied flavors—zippy notes of berry and cherry are bolstered by underlayers of leathery funk, citrus-spiked acidity, oak tannins, and brett-laced aged-hop spice.
