OUR ODE TO ANCIENT C***R COUNTRY

Our newest vintage of ATLANTICA is now in bottles and kegs. The roots and inspiration for this c***r comes from hundreds of years of Asturian c***rmaking traditions. We set out to make something similar to these traditional sidras in flavor profile, but made with our local coastal Maine and New Hampshire apples.

Like our favorite sidras of Asturias in Northern Spain, this c***r focuses on being fruity, soft, bright with a light acidity, and spritzy in character.

In order to reach this flavor profile, we pressed a combination of Calville Blanc d’Hiver (50%), Wickson (20%), Chisel Jersey (10%), Golden Russet (10%), and Northern Spy (10%) apples together. This cuvée is then spontaneously fermented for several months before aging for six months on lees in our oak foeder. This blend of apples along with time creates a flavor experience reminiscent of lemon zest, green apples, white flowers, and ocean spray. This year’s vintage is refreshing and nuanced making it immensely smooth, and a c***r that can pair with many different cuisines, and especially seafood.

Atlantica is a true expression of our space, identity, and influence of the seasons. Throughout the year it ages slowly in the oak foeder that is front & center in our tasting room. Juxtaposed to the fervor of our tasting room small nuanced changes are taking shape in that large oak barrel making for a complex c***r.

Bottles are now available in our tasting room, in our webshop for shipping, and for distribution to local bars & bottle shops.

Follow the link below to order on our webshop:

Pop into the tasting room to enjoy it by the glass! It is honestly my favorite batch yet. We hope you give it a taste and that it transports you to the rolling orchard hills of Northern Spain.

LA**RS WITH TRIBUTARY BREWING

Today, our team had the honor to brew a collaborative b**r with the legendary brewing family at Tributary Brewing in Kittery, Maine.

The b**r is a rustic spelt l***r made with Blue Ox Malthouse grains that we are co-fermenting with early season apple juice. This apple-l***r includes a heavy dose of local spelt and apple juice made with Dolgo Crab, Yellow Transparent, Williams Pride, and Pink Lady apples. The blend brings together fruit, tannin, and acid notes from the apples, complemented by the bright crisp rustic notes from a pale l***r.

In between glasses of kölsch, pilsner, and saison we chatted about the approach, the recipe, and caught up about all the wonderful b**rs/c***rs we’ve shared through the years. It’s easy to spend time with this passionate family and share in a craft we love—the art of fermentation.

Join us for the release of this b**r later this fall at both taprooms, more details to come.

Cheers to Woody for dreaming up this epic b**r, to the rest of the team Tributary Brewing for the legendary hospitality, and to Blue Ox Malthouse for supplying the goods and always keeping it weird. Prost!

SAY HELLO TO VALKYRIE!

Introducing the newest release in our series of meads made with Maine honey—say hello to VALKYRIE.

Valkyrie is a dry sparkling blueberry mead, taking wildflower and blueberry honey from Swan's Honey and fermenting it on top of freshly picked organic low bush blueberries from Burke Hill Farm in Cherryfield, Maine. The fermentation is “low and slow” as we like to say, slowly and delicately developing complex flavors over a six month period. We then transferred off of the blueberries to age for another six months in tank. Eventually we kegged the blend with some residual sugar, resulting in a keg fermentation finishing the blend extra dry with natural bubbles.

It’s a “nano-batch” only a 30 gallon test batch just for our tasting room. Looking to see if we can expand our fermentations into co-fermented meads. We just tapped a keg this week. Only available by the glass in our tasting room until it is gone. Give it a try, tell us what you think. It’s truly local agriculture in a glass.

Long live dry meads. One of humanity’s most primitive and oldest types of fermentations.

CRABAPPLES ARE OFFICIALLY HERE!

These little jewels are ripening quickly, kickstarting our apple season! These are Dolgo Crabapples—a popular variety for making jellies and jams, but also adds a tart and refreshing tinge to our early season c***r blends. We are lucky to have some trees on our property and also around several other locations we forage for in Winthrop.

Picking this apple reminds us of our c***r TIME WAVES made exclusively with crabapples, including a bunch of Dolgo Crabapples. It’s intense, packed with tons of flavor and embodying the notes exemplified in crabapples. Bottles are still available in our tasting room, and also on our webshop. Grab yours to understand the depth of these tiny fruits.

Visit the link below to grab a bottle: https://www.absolemc***r.com/shipping

Depending on how this harvest goes, we also plan on offering some Dolgo Crabapples for sale in our tasting room. If they become available, you’ll see pints of them for sale, they are a very tart little snack.

Apple season is officially here 🍎 🍏

TASTING ROOM WEEKLY PREVIEW
{August 19th–August 23rd}

Unwrap to explore the magic world of herbs. Underberg America is one of our favorite pick-me-ups to make it through a day, rejuvenating us in between a couple b**rs and c***rs. You should try them, ask our bartender Tom for a “berg” and he will hook you up. It’s a little bitter, definitely a good time, and an Absolem tradition–so you’ll love it, but let us keep the cap.
