FLEMM RELEASE + STOCKISTS

Launching today is our newest release in the Bending Spokes series, Flemm. First brewed by Richard over 15 years ago, Flemm is one of the original barrel aged sour recipes in Australia. Co-founders of BentSpoke Richard and Tracy first fell in love with barrel aged beers on a trip to Belgium, which included a guided tour of the famous Rodenbach brewery. A local farmer sitting at the bar of a brasserie close by, guided their beer choices and made sure they felt welcome. And, you guessed it; the farmers name was Flemm! The beer itself has been aged in oak for 12 months, and blended with an aged, unoaked version, and a younger unoaked version to balance the acid and add vibrance to the beer. A complex and “isolating” beer it has flavours of toffee malt, plum and raisin fruity esters with lacto and acetic acids as well as the sweaty horse blanket wild yeast character creating the burgundy of beer. “I love brewing these style of beers and I’m excited to put them in cans for the first time with Flemm. The wild yeast creates some funky characters with a touch of sweaty horse blanket and zoo like aromas. I cannot wait for people to taste what has been years in the barrelling.” says Richard. Flemm will be available locally in the ACT from Thursday 30 April, as well as interstate through our network of retail partners shortly after. It is recommended that you call ahead to check stock levels. You can also purchase directly from the brewery, either by getting a traveller fill from our Braddon brewpub, or shop online at https://shop.bentspoke.beer/.
