Mixed fermentation is the process of fermenting wort into beer by manually adding lab grown microorganisms to the wort the morning after it is brewed. This wort destined to be a mixed fermentation beer is cooled in a sterile tank over night and the next morning we introduce a blend of microorganisms into the wort before it is pumped into barrels.
Over the six years weโve been brewing at the Monolith weโve shifted the bulk of our production away from mixed fermentation. We still make some mixed fermentation beers, but these are now shifting to be more special projects and lower alcohol products. We are also moving away from purchasing microorganisms from yeast suppliers and instead have been introducing microorganisms cultivated and grown in our lab. Weโve found that the consistency and quality is superior as weโve been able to optimize growth techniques for our unique processes.
Join us Saturday, Nov. 21 for a day of delicious barrel-crafted beer! We will be pouring two new beers alongside food pairings. Fruitful Pursuits: Currant showcases red and black currants, while Sojourn in Sicily was made in Marsala barrels!
Greg had the amazing opportunity to travel to Tokyo in March, 2026. While there, he established relationships that mean that Blind Enthusiasm's beers are now available in Japan.ย
On October 24, 2026 weโre going to be hosting a very special day at our brewery โ our second annual Open Brew Day! Itโs a free, community focused event that will allow fans of our beer to join us as we brew. Enjoy this rare opportunity to get behind the scenes and watch us brew a batch of our beer that will be fermented in barrels and eventually blended into one of our bottle releases. Weโre very excited to have you join us and get behind the scenes as we brew.
