From Zymatore to Order of Eccentric Boilers to Artista Zynergia
When you are eccentrically obsessed with complex flavors & aromas you will never stop thinking and experimenting. Many forms of innovations are based on the idea of putting existing things together in a very new and profoundly different & novel way.
Look at our Zymatore Project, our fleet of temperature controlled shipping tanks, the new historic brewery Ordinem Ecentrici Coctores and its related infrastructure, plus the numerous world-class brewmasters behind our imported portfolio. It is not difficult to envision a completely different way of brewing, a way of thinking about the final fermentation & maturation process to again achieve flavors and aromas of unheard, untasted dimensions.
“Artista Zynergia”
Instead of doing anything the conventional way such as brewing one recipe at one brewery (most conventional collaborations are following the same conventional script), what about brewing one part of a complex fermentation at one of our world-class breweries abroad, have it shipped to us via one of our temperature controlled tank containers and have the second part brewed at OEC here in Oxford CT. Then we combine both & allow refermentation using one of the complex wild yeast strains indigenous to our local fruits in Oxford, CT or isolated from one of our complex Zymatore projects? Maybe the final outcome to be aged in one of our complex Zymatore barrels for pure additional pleasure?
Whenever we taste a new Zymatore project we are always stunned by the new flavor and aromas the brew is able to develop in such distinct wooden barrels with the help and assistance of a fleet of highly distinct wild microbes that have become fiercely committed to our projects in Oxford, CT . We therefore theorize that the flavors and aromas of our new concept “Artista Zynergia” should be equally stunning and of course entirely unexpected.
Our term “Artista Zynergia” is composed of two parts: Artista = artistic & Zynergia = a fantasty word formed from zymergy (the art and science of fermentation) and synergy (the complex art of combining separate pieces to create something of higher and of unique value).
On September 20th, 2014 we will launch the first Artista Zynergia project at the OEC Brewing tasting room. Artista Zynergia: Solaris will be on tap for the very first time this coming Saturday. The following week bottles will go on sale as well (exclusively at the tasting room), and 20L & 30L kegs will go out to market around the country.
Artista Zynergia: Solaris is a blend of an OEC “semi-spontaneously” fermented ale with Spanish Sagardoa from Sarasola. Together they combine to create a unique combination between tart apple cider and the lime and lemony acidity of the ale.
