The Water's End Grand Cru is rich in its complexity and tradition. This year is no different featuring a blending of wild ales from Grand Cru past and present. One barrel of Grand Cru 2024 was selected for holding as it awaits the 2025 vintage and a perfectly blended fate. 

In recent years, Grand Cru Preview offers a peek behind the curtain of our annual favorite. This year the base beer was designed more specifically to stand alone while still providing the foundation for our custom wild yeast blend featured in the final product. Grand Cru Preview 2025 is a dopplebock by style. Historically brewed by German Friars near Munich, it was preferred during Lent as the heavily malted beer was rich in nutrients while they fasted through the day. The Friars called it Salvator or "liquid bread" and the strong alcohol while fasting probably passed the days a little quicker. Look for a strong malt backbone with biscuit, caramel and a little nuttiness both in the aroma and the flavor. A full mouthfeel comes from the large amount of residual sugar intentionally left behind for our wild yeast to feast as they create this year's Grand Cru.
