I’ve been thinking about it for a while and I feel that wild fermentation is really having a moment in alcohol,” says Crystal Luxmore. “I think it’s kind of a flavour profile for alcohol that we haven’t seen in North America in a long time. I love beer, personally, but what’s really interesting to me was that wild fermentation’s moment cuts across categories — wine, cider and beer.”
