Urawaga is our project where barrels are selected to age in our underground fermentation pit. This method is based on the Kenyan beverage Urawaga.
Exilis Urwaga
5% abv – Exilis is our Berliner Style Weisse brewed using a traditional 3 part decoction using the thin part of the mash for the final decoction. This special stronger edition was aged in a Gandona Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon barrel (St. Helena, CA) underground in our “Urwaga Pit” for 12 months & then bottle conditioned for an additional 12 months.
Retired Edition: Zymatore Schlenkerla Wheat
5.2% abv – Schlenkerla Wheat is a Rauchbier (smoke) beer produced by Schlenkerla in Bamberg, Germany.
We filled the beer into a Roja barrel and then decided to use this barrel as our first venture into our URWAGA project – where we aged the barrel in our underground fermentation pit. This is method is based on the Kenyan beverage Urwaga. It sat underground in the Roja barrels for over a year!
Retired Edition: Zymatore Maledetta
