## About

Wild Mind Ales specializes in wild, farmhouse, saison, and rustic ales through traditional, old-world brewing methods. Our expansive wood cellar is filled with foeders and a wide array of a barrels that have traveled from as far as Italy to help promulgate complexity into each beer and build a strong terrior. To add complexity, we use our custom-built coolship to inoculate beers with funky microflora and bacteria. Spontaneously fermented ales are barrel-aged and blended to provide each beer with a unique texture and an intense depth of flavor. After all this work to promulgate funk, time and patience becomes our most important ingredient. Beers may age anywhere from a couple months to many years before being ready for your glass — and it’s always worth the wait. #weirdlytraditional
