The 2023 blend, like 2021 and 2022 is an ale made with certified organic heritage malted barley, raw wheat and aged hops, all wholly grown in Australia. Brewed in Katoomba using an intensive turbid mash, extended three hour boil and cooled in copper coolship overnight exposed to the environs of the Blue Mountains world heritage site. Fermented and aged in oak without addition of yeast or bacteria.

This blend contains ales brewed in the winters of each 2020, 2021 and 2022 which have aged for three, two and one year respectively before being blended in late 2023 and bottled. This year's blend is composed of of four, 500 litre puncheons: two of three years of age, one of two years of age and a single of one year of age.

In marrying beers of three different brewing seasons, we have for the first time in our Village series been able to most closely mirror the common blending compositions of Belgian Gueuze, something we have been working and aiming towards since long before these beers were ever brewed.
