Garlic Road
Wild Saison w/ Pickled Peipsi Garlic & Chanterelles - Collab with Spike Brewery
Tasting Notes
A distinct garlic and earthy chanterelle aroma leads into rustic farmhouse funk and crisp acidity. Savory umami and a softly briney mouthfeel give way to subtle herbal notes, finishing bone-dry and refreshing.
The Lore
Garlic Road is an international collaboration brewed with our friends at Spike Brewery in Gothenburg, Sweden. Released exclusively for Humalafest 2026.
The beer is named for the region around Lake Peipsi in Estonia, commonly referred to as the “Onion Road” for the abundance of small, intense onions that grow there.
While they don't get the attention of the onions, the region is also well known for the amazing garlic and chanterelle mushrooms that we sourced for this special collaborative brew.
The Process
Brewed together with Spike Brewery, Garlic Road began with our classic saison recipe, then underwent a secondary fermentation with our house culture for funk and acidity.
Separately, we made a lactic ferment for our Peipsi garlic and Chanterelles, adding them back to the beer after souring. The now pickled garlic and Chanterelle add a distinct garlic aroma, umami, and a softly briney mouthfeel.
Collaboration Partner: Spike Brewery, Gothenburg, Sweden
Food Pairings: Smoked Baltic fish, rustic rye bread with salted butter, rich duck confit, or sharp cave-aged cheeses.
