River Fossil Farm 2025 is an ale aged with blueberries.

The 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. Following primary fermentation it matured in oak for 16 months before being macerated and refermented with 500g/l of Organic blueberries from River Fossil Farm in Petcheys Bay, TAS.

It was then blended with second use ale from Sailor Seeks Fossil 2024. Following this maceration 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.

The 2025 cuvee saw us returning straight to blueberries, without the Pinot Noir addition. Not that we didnt like it, the harvest times just did not line up this year so we couldn't combine them... but also with a slightly warmer, earlier blueberry harvest, we reckoned that the fruit on its own would look a fair bit riper so we went straight. Once again too, we upped the fruit rate and, well, this beer, like most year's is an electric purple delight. Enjoy.
