metaphore Qvevri - 75 CL

This beer explores the dialectic of maturing beers in Georgian qvevri and is driven by a romantic vision of crafting rustic beers with the unique energy of these ancient barrels. Qvevris are huge, handmade earthenware vessels that were traditionally used in Georgia to make and age wine. This method and dying art of winemaking could never be invented in the modern world and reflects the depth of 8,000 years of wine history in Georgia. This beer consists of a blend of spontaneously fermented beers aged for a year in qvevri, buried in the ground, with organic Riesling grapes from the 2020 vintage, sourced from winemaker Petr Nejedlík, and refined for another year in oak barrels. The unique “je ne sais quoi” mineral, rustic quality comes from the qvevri itself. Each qvevri is covered on the inside with beeswax. The smell of clay and beeswax create something very intriguing that translates well into the beer. It's clear, so drinkable and drinkable!
