Perpetual Desire 2025 is a blend of two ales aged with Organic rhubarb, Pinot Noir Grapes and Organic Ruby red Grapefruit.
The first ale was brewed with Organic barley and Organic spelt in May 2023 wholly fermented by a diversity of yeasts and bacteria collected from native flowers from NSW before resting aged for 1.5 years in puncheon until it was macerated with 700kg of Organic rhubarb stalks from Moonacres Farm. The second ale was brewed with Organic red wheat and Organic heritage barley wholly fermented by a diversity of yeasts and bacteria collected from native flowers from NSW and heavily macerated with Pinot Noir Grapes from Kooyong Estate in the Morning Peninsula, VIC.
These two were blended, with only a small portion of the blend coming from the grape ale, and together were macerated with fresh Organic Ruby Red Grapefruit before bottling. It was bottled with raw, unheated Blue Mountains Polyflora wild honey from naturally formed, bee-friendly Warré hives from Tim and Emma Malfroy and allowed to naturally condition and carbonate before release.
Made exclusively for The Collective.
This combination of rhubarb and citrus from last year's collective beer was just stellar in our opinion and we really wanted to try it again. The citrus kept the whole beer so fresh for quite some time in bottle and, for me, brought out the sweetness of the rhubarb so well. This year, the rhubarb from Moonacres was just as bright and beautiful as last, showing how ripe it truly was. Some store-bought rhubarb lacks the visible pop that this crop had. We took this a different way with the blending of Pinot-beer in lieu of cherry-beer to both deepen the colour but also gain an element of spice and richness that the cherry beer could not bring. The result drinks beautifully. If you enjoy a more citrus-driven experience, drink this one fresher (within the next 4-ish months), however for more rhubarb and Pinot to come out to play, hold off till the citrus integrates more and enjoy from winter-time onwards.
The label for Perpetual Desire was made by Bernadette using seaweed collected in the Sydney Harbour pressed and dried against watercolour paints.
