TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE WILD STUFF?

At Duration we have a dedicated barrel store where we house our coolship  (a vessel that helps us innoculate the beer with local cultures), some foeders (large oak barrels more often seen in wine making) where we rest the beer to impart some of the oak into it and where we keep a culture of multiple yeast (bretty, more wild and complex) to sour the beer.

We call the beers we make in this project our Fermata Range – it’s a musical term that means to slow or prolong a note, after all Duration is the distance between two notes musically speaking.

We take things slow, aging on wood or fruit additions, spontaneous or mixed fermenting our beers and evenblending them to taste. Often tart, usually dry and with a curious undulating sensation these beer express themselves with a bit more carbonation and lot more depth and complexity. They ripple and flavours emerge in waves and undulate across the tongue. If you sip and savour these beers a lot can be revealed, compared to a big hearty chug you can give a fresh session beer.
