metaphore Defiance - 75 CL

A beer of mixed fermentation with Nitra grapes, aged for 18 months in oak barrels. Nitra is a local cabernet type grape variety originally grown in Slovakia. It is grown very sparsely nowadays. The year 2020 was undoubtedly a tough year for many and full of unexpected events. Just when an old grower was faced with the challenge of selling his harvest because demand was virtually nil that year, I was offered to take advantage. With this late harvest, early November!, the very ripe berries were then macerated in a barrel-aged beer. This couldn't be more different from, for example, “Pinots”. Nitra grapes have quite thick skins and provide lots of color and tannins! It was then carefully blended and is funkier and true to this unique variety.
