Cyclic Beer Farm - Beets '23 5.3%

Every year Cyclic make a mixed fermentation with organic beetroot from the family farm in Alt Emporda, Catalonia. For this one (2023) they have made an acid-based blend with a Saison aged in barrel, macerated with beetroot for 3 weeks in the tank. It's earthy, fruity and funky.

We think everyone must try it at least once. It's quite unique and is unashamedly a 'love it or hate it' situation.

Cyclic was founded in Barcelona in 2016 and is focused on mixed fermentation beer alongside some new projects with fruit fermentations, ciders, and natural wines.
Inspired by the traditional beers of Belgium - they use house blends of yeast and bacteria along with experimental yeast from local flora. For the mixed ferments and wines they use only wild yeasts from the skins of the organic fruit.
They work with the seasons and source organic fruit, herbs, and vegetables from the family farm just outside Barcelona.
Wild beers like this while still relatively rare are becoming increasingly available and sought-after particularly, in gastronomy where these beers can really shine. They typically find a home alongside natural wines in stores, bars, and restaurants as they share many similar flavours and philosophies. And of course, customers with open minds too.
We are really pleased to share them with Lithuania and are specially placed to present them to you as we have our team member Juan who worked with Cyclic for years and knows the beers inside-out. So, if you're interested, keep an eye out as he will be organising some special tastings/pouring’s at new skanu and at partner venues too.
