Fireside is a 4% ABV ale made with hand malted regenerative organic barley kilned to caramelise, collect aroma and dry over the fires at Firedoor Restaurant, Surry Hills.
A collaborative project between Wildflower and Firedoor, this beer also saw the addition of freshly smoked and charred malt by chef Jason White directly into the mash on brew day.
Fireside was fermented in a single 500 litre punchen with the addition of fresh greengages.
After seven months maturation in ex-wine French Oak, the beer was bottled and left to rest for an additional 8 months before release.
The label was painted by ‘paint’ made from ash and charcoal from Firedoor’s kitchen.
Due to extremely limited availability, Fireside will only be available via the Wildflower Monthly Beer Box.
