Mills Brewing Running Beer - Blend Eight

"Running Beer is the first beer we designed for Mills Brewing. It is the purest distillation of how we make beer. This is blend eight. We still have no set recipe for Running Beer, but blend to a similar flavour profile each time. We produce a variety of worts and welcome the natural variation we are given by the barrels. This beer is a blend of four brews produced in November 2018, January/March 2019 and May 2020. The worts were made using malted rye and aged hops. They fermented and matured in a mixture of oak barrels previously used by French Burgundy wine and American Bourbon whiskey producers for an average of thirty months. The bottles were then left to condition for a further four months before release."

Description: About eleven years ago we visited Boon in Belgium and were delighted to find their geuze in tiny 25 cl beer bottles in the brewery shop. It seemed outrageous to have such a beer in such openable bottles. Needless to say, the remainder of the trip was peppered with tiny geuze portions at every opportunity.
