What is ONCEMADE?
ONCEMADE is a seasonal collaboration pairing two unforgettable, single-batch beers from local artisan brewers. Each season, our goal is to bring consumers two once-in-a-lifetime beers made right here in Massachusetts.
Who’s involved in this ONCEMADE release? What are they brewing?
Release #1 features two Sour Imperial Saisons from Night Shift Brewing and Backlash Beer. While the saison is a historic farmhouse style, these beers are anything but conventional.
Backlash’s beer—a pale saison with a pilsner and wheat malt base—is a minimalist 6% ABV masterpiece with Nugget and Willamette hops. Night Shift’s red saison—boasting a complex malt bill that includes caramel, wheat, rye, and acid malts—will reach over 8% ABV and features Saaz and Willamette hops, as well as agave nectar added to the end of the boil.
Both beers underwent primary fermentation with a traditional saison yeast before aging for two months in a combination of oak barrels. The brewers selected local red wine barrels from Les Trois Emmes Winery in New Marlborough Massachusetts and classic brandy barrels from southern California. The beers are aged on farm-grown Massachusetts raspberries with added Brettanomyces yeast.
What’s included in the ONCEMADE package?
Each hand-numbered pinewood box includes two 750ML beers, a signed letter from the brewers, two hand-made wooden coasters, and a piece of one of the barrels.
