Wunderkammer’s Fig. 2 is the brewer’s first contribution to the Vermont Hop Project initiated by Champlain Valley Hops. Chinook is up first, a wheated pale ale base beer with standard Pale Ale hopping, which is to say a more firm hop presence in bitterness and aroma than is typical for Wunderkammer. Fermented with mixed culture and conditioned in oak before adding Chinook dry hops and bottle conditioning. The result is a fresh, refreshing and mind-bending interpretation of a Pale Ale that travels in both worlds of British and Belgian brewing.
At long last, tastings are back here at the Bevie! To kick things off, we will be hosting Maquam Winery this coming Friday, 7/16 from 3PM-6PM. Stop in for a swirl of their sumptuous fruit wines and a little chat with Connie to find out just how they do it in Milton.

After far too long away, it is finally time to once again explore the Wunderkammer! In the words of the founder, Vasilios Gletsos:
Wunderkammer Biermanufaktur is the evolution of a side project started back in 2016. The new facility and brewhouse was built last year on a farm in Albany, Vermont, and features a copper, wood-fired kettle and a coolship. The cellar is a former cheese cave where I ferment and age the beers in a combination of oak and stainless steel vessels. Local products, foraged ingredients and traditional, low-intervention, processes characterize my brewing philosophy which is inspired by the nature around us and the agrarian roots of brewing.
Fig. 1 – This is a wheat beer made with spring water and Vermont grown grains and hops. It’s a mixed-culture beer, meaning it has been fermented by multiple yeast strains, including standard ale strains, brettanomyces, and bacteria. This contributes a wider variety of fermentation character that range from fruity to funky to herbal and earthy, as well as dry out the beer of residual sugar. After primary fermentation in a stainless steel tank and conditioning in an oak Puncheon, the beer was lightly dry hopped with more Vermont hops.
In order to help get this beer to as many of you beautiful people as possible, we will be spreading our release over today(Thursday 6/17), Friday, and Saturday. Bottles will be released when we open at 10AM on each day. Danke Schoen!
