Sonambic, Orphan Beer, and Temptation were used as the base beer which were aged between 9 – 15 months in either standard used wine barrels or Foeder (wooden) tanks. These base beers were then aged with the grape pomace (pressed grapes, in this case red grapes) from three different grape varieties- Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Petite Sirah, all from local Sonoma County wineries. After the beer was aged on the pomace, a disproportionate blend of the three Pomace Beers were blended then packaged still (none carbonated).
