Burbank Terroir

Following on the heels of an experiment in wild yeast for the Turning One Saison, Verdugo West is now tapping into older techniques with a custom built coolship (koelschips in Belgian) for a long-term beer that we won’t be able to see until 2019 or beyond even though it was brewed on 2/13/18.

I will delve deeper into coolships and Los Angeles over on Food GPS in a week or so. But for now, some photos of the what the beer looked like on Day 1….

The look from above on the turbid mash.

The wi-fi enabled heat sensor and the steam trails.

The menu board, where the wild ale experiment will not be seen for a while.
