Coolship Pêche marries the delicate flavor of farm-fresh peaches with
our Coolship beer’s signature notes of tart funk, apricot, and oak. In
line with traditional Belgian brewing methods, this beer starts with
Pilsner malt, 40% raw wheat, and aged whole-leaf hops. The unfermented
wort is then transferred to a large shallow pan called a coolship, which
allows the wort to mingle with wild yeast and souring microbiota in the
Maine air. The beer then ferments and ages in French oak wine barrels
for roughly two years. To finish, we add fresh, Maine-grown peaches and
let the barrels rest for another five months before the beer is ready
for bottles.
