The Locavore Project epitomises the core philosophy that Wicklow Wolf was founded upon, provenance and pride. It allows us to honour the landscape of Wicklow, our home, and celebrate it with small batch, local, experimental beers.
Locavore will see four new beer releases per year – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. These will allow us to experiment with small batches, new ingredients, mixed fermentation and push the boundaries of our innovation to brew something special to reflect and champion our home, Wicklow.
Introducing Locavore Spring 2024, the first seasonal Locavore Project release of 2024 and our 21st release in the series. Locavore Spring 2024 is a Barrel Aged Farmhouse Ale aged for 16 months in Chardonnay barrels on our hop farm in the Wicklow Mountains.
Conditioned with wild yeasts and carefully monitored by the watchful eyes of our brewing team, the beer was allowed to slowly mature over time to give a magnificent depth of complex flavours.
The result? A wild, sour farmhouse ale which champions the wild yeasts of the Wicklow Wolf Hop Farm and the Wicklow Terroir.
Locavore Spring 2024 releases into the wild this week. Find it in all good independent off licences and at the Wicklow Wolf Taproom.
