1st July – This summer, upgrade your drinking experience and try something different with two new releases from Beavertown’s Tempus Barrel Project: Mother of the Woods, and As Above So Below.
Embracing the magic of nature, Mother of the Woods brings inspiration from the wild outdoors and bottles it to create a light, delicate beer with all the floral flavours you’d expect from your favourite G&T, but in an ale. Crafted using fresh, locally foraged Juniper and Hibiscus flowers, this 7% ABV Wild Ale makes for a refreshing, pink gin spritz style beer with herbal, earthy flavours and a slight tartness. Created with the freshest seasonal flowers, the botanical flavours in every batch are unique, making for a truly exciting drinking experience.
Rather than being barrel aged, Mother of the Woods is freshly brewed, allowing for a lighter beer style that’s perfect for sipping in the afternoon sunshine. With its delicate rose flavours and a deep pink hue, Mother of The Woods is the ideal option for an after work drink or enjoying at a garden party with friends, much the same as a summery cocktail serve.
Also joining Beavertown’s Tempus Barrel Project this June is a tribute to ancient winemaking, As Above So Below. Half golden ale, half sparkling wine, As Above So Below is a has been created from a golden ale base, which is fermented with Chardonnay and Ortega grape juice from vineyards in Kent. This is then left to age on Pinot Meunier and Ortega grape skins for six months in an amphora, a large clay pot typically used for wine making, helping to regulate its temperature and allow the liquid to breathe. The result of this slow aging process is a rich, zesty beer and wine hybrid with a sparkling wine-like sharpness and 8% ABV. 
Featuring all the depth you’d expect from a natural wine, but in a beer, As Above So Below is perfect for enjoying a meal with friends in the warmth of a summer evening. One sip and you can almost imagine you’re on holiday.
These two new additions to the Tempus Barrel Project portfolio join Chariot, Light Becomes Her, Awakening, Casting Circles and Rule of Three, all of which take the drinker on a flavour journey, pushing the boundaries on what is expected of beer. Beavertown Brewery is confident these beers taste great because it’s the product of nature, nurture and as much time as it takes to reach perfection.
