What's a Coolship?
Using a centuries-old Belgian brewing tradition, we're able to achieve a complex, and delicious, style of beer with the help of wild yeast floating in the Maine air.
How We Brew Coolship Beer
Coolship Resurgam
Barrel-Aged Blend of Spontaneously Fermented Beer
Coolship Resurgam is brewed with Pilsner malt, raw wheat, and aged hops. The beer is cooled overnight using outside air temperature in a traditional large, shallow pan known as a coolship. During the cooling process, naturally occurring microbiota from the air inoculate the beer, and in the morning, it is transferred into French oak wine barrels where the entire fermentation and aging takes place.
Coolship Resurgam is a blend of this one-, two-, and three-year-old spontaneously fermented beer. The finished beer has aromas of apricot, lemon zest, and candied fruit. Notes of tropical fruit and flavors of funk lead to a clean, tart, and dry finish.
