Adambier craft sources?

[Phischy1]

For my homebrew club I'm trying to convince people to brew their take on the Adambier. Which isn't a well defined strong ale, other than it should have a wood component and be 10%ish.

The plan is to get people to brew now and then let it age for a year. We will then have a tasting and let people decide what they think is best.

I'm also looking for commercial craft versions. The only 2 I know of are Hair of the Dog Adam and Saint Arnold DR16.

I have both but I'm looking for more options. Does anyone else know of anyone making it to where I can acquire a 6pk or 3x22oz?

Destihl has one on rotation, if you're waiting a year to try them you should be able to find some before then.

Isn't an Adambier just an old ale? In which case you would just have to find some old ales that are barrel aged or aged on wood.

From just now reading what Ron P has for research on adambier (1 post from 2010) I'd guess no one is actually making anything of the sort these days.

Hadn't read that. I'm aware the cask conditioning does lead to a lactic acid component. I brewed 10 gallons and I intend to age it in stainless for a year. Split 3 gallons off to a small keg with oak, and slowly dose it with lactic acid, then back blend. To a 5 gallon keg.

I know whats on the market isn't authentic, but I'm looking for examples. One of the nice things about this experiment is the wide open nature of it.

Well clearly you're not one to bother reasoning with, eh?

OEC Brewing does and Adambier from time to time called Arcanum. It's not available there now but came out in March of 2016 and January of 2015 so it might be around soon.

And by this you mean?

Side Project is releasing a BA Adambier called Langst soon, but that doesn't help with this

Do you have any KBBBBS for trade?

 

[FoudreGuy]

Does the Shiga Kogen/HotD collab Adamu count?

Beavertown brewed one and wrote about it for the Rainbow Project last year:

They just released 240 bottles through the wine and cheese place. It's been available for onsite consumption at the cellar for a little while now, so compared to some other wine and cheese place releases it should be fairly attainable.

I haven't tried it yet, but from the description it doesn't seem like it will have any sourness at all in it. Cigar City had one on tap when I was home for Christmas and it seemed to fit your description perfectly, I however did not like it very much, felt like it would have been better without the sourness. https://untappd.com/b/cigar-city-brewing-the-glass-key/1822476

The two iterations of OEC Arcanum Singularis, one aged in a Hillrock Whiskey barrel, the other in a Syrah barrel, have been lightly tart and quite complex. I preferred the tannic quality of the Syrah barrel.
