Sugar Plum | 2021 Harvest is our first spontaneous beer of the 2021 Harvest.

The beer was then racked out and bottled in early 2022 at an approximate age of 26 months at the time of bottling in early 2022. It spent some more time bottle conditioning prior to its release and is now ready for enjoyment.
