At FERMENTATION ARTS BREWERY our mission is to share with you artistic fermentations powered by biotransformation, experimentation, and meticulous brewcraft to push the boundaries of what is possible in beer. We focus on producing world class New England IPAs and biotransformed lagers.
But that's just for now... As we speak, our experimental art series is launching. Meet you on mars.
Our current lineup features two New England IPAs and one unique Pilsner.
TALES OF THE MOSAIC MARVEL is a single-hop New England IPA featuring passionfruity Mosaic hops. JOHNNY GET YOUR RAYGUN is a Double-Dry Hopped Double New England IPA made with Citra and Mosaic hops. The hops for both MARVEL and RAYGUN are processed using cryogenic techniques in an ultracold facility. This specialty process is thought to preserve more fully the effervescent citrus and tropical aromas of these resinous nortwestern USA varieties. This, in combination with dry hopping during fermentation, makes it possible to create beers with more intense hop flavor and aroma then is possible otherwise.
PILSNER 4 PEACE is a single-hopped Pilsner with a unique story. Created in January 2020, during the event of global escalations in hostilities between the USA and Iran, the P4P was first conceived as an artistic collaboration to create collaborative can labels by international artists, including artists from Kurdish, Iranian, Asian, Jewish and North American background, and a beer so simple that we would share the recipe for free with brewers undertaken artwork with similar intent.
What makes our beer unique?
Creative hopping techniques, incredible ingredients, and unique methods for yeast husbandry.
Each of our ales amd lagers incorporate mash hopping, a technique which deeply integrates hop flavors (see below). These beers are also dry hopped at two points–once, during the height of fermentation activity to promote the integration of resinous hop terpenes into the flavor of the beer, and secondly, at the tail end of fermentation–immediately following which addition, the beer is capped to capture the hop aromas. This naturally carbonates the beer, producing tiny, champagne-like bubbles from fermentation of trace amounts of sugars present in the hop flowers.
[+] Learn about Mash Hopping Both Marvel and Raygun are mash hopped beers. Mash hopping involves the addition of hops (in this case, Citra) at the very beginning of beer brewing. These hops are added at relatively low temperatures, allowing extraction into the beer of many sought after aroma compounds in addition to some plant sugars which are found in the hop flowers. Mash hop plant matter is discarded before the beer is boiled and our early experiments point to this reducing the extraction of harsh bitterness which can result from hop additions during the boiling of wort.
