Matinada Beer 2022,

Cyclic Beer Farm

Matinada is a dark sour (a dark, dense brown beer) heavily infused with coffee and orange. The coffee is a Colombian chambaku distributed by Nømad Coffee, and the flavoring is complemented by the zest and juice of organic oranges harvested at the family estate in Alt Empordà (Catalonia), as well as Madagascar vanilla pods, a touch of sea salt, and a touch of Palisade Hops. This vintage exhibits pronounced dryness and acidity, with very intense coffee aromas. Matinada is 5.6% ABV.

Cyclic Beer Farm is a duo of Barcelona friends, Alberto and Joshua. Based in the Catalan capital, they have two sides to their business: beer (Cyclic Beer) and wine (Cyclic Wine). The beers, inspired by the Belgian model, come in surprising and colorful ranges where expertly measured yeast cocktails and house brews combine with varied macerations of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and grape marc from traditional Catalan varieties, the latter taken after the fermentation of their wines — because the second side is the wine, made exclusively from native Catalan grape varieties. Packaged in 75 cl bottles so that everyone can satisfy their thirst, the beers play between classicism and flights of inspiration, in a contrasting and creative way, Catalan style, without forgetting to dare the beer with wine, of course. On classic bases and a Belgian fermentation model, the two brewers-winemakers Joshua and Alberto play with ingredients, aromas, macerations, between cereals, fruits, vegetables or grape skins of Catalan grape varieties, to achieve flavors that are reminiscent of the Obni (unidentified drinkable object). Whether they assert themselves on balance or on a certain managed dissonance, these beers will never leave you indifferent and will reveal their full potential during the summer heat, served well chilled (like their creators).
