United International, and Gavin Murphy from Beer Table. Ben discusses the traditions and mysticism that have inspired OEC from its start as well as the “old school” system he operates, which includes a Beaudelot Chiller. He also explains the importance of balance in brewing sours and lets drinkers know what they can expect next from the orchards at OEC. The group shares memories of time spent at OEC in Oxford, CT  and talks about the virtues of vintage beer while sipping on OEC’s Coolship Black Lager.\n\nBeer\nGrimm Artisanal Ales, Invisible Touch Lager\nOEC Brewing, Æther Dry Hopped Sour Ale\nOEC Brewing, Coolship Lager Americana\nOEC Brewing, Coolship Lager Black\nOEC Brewing, Coolship, Coolship Lager\nOEC Brewing, Oudilis Cerasus 2016 Vintage"}
