Ghosts of the Half-Moon was crafted from a small lot Pappy Van Winkle Barrels that we filled with Space & Time in August of 2021. It has aged for over two years before being bottled in December of 2023 for your enjoyment. This special beer came together through the creativity and collaboration of many people and departments, and we are excited to finally share it with you today.

A poem, written by Evan Hayward, a cellarperson at Tree House, accompanies the release: A silver coin moored in the darkness
clouds dragged over its gleaming edge
their bellies emptied like slit burlap
spilling fog through the treetops pooling over the roots
until the ground is eel backed and smoke drowned
the stiff Pillars of their trunks wrapped in the cool wash Nestled into the crook of the upturned ground
head lolling to the side he watches
the moon swing off its hinges
its hull splashing in the phosphorescence
its sails drop and swell
descending into the Forrest’s stupor
hassled only by the yips of wild dogs
their fur frayed hay bales catching the light off its wake
kidnapped under a caravan of dreamless sleep
his eyes heavy as stones roll away
the stowaway stretches his limbs into some foreign season
his mind a bobbing cork arriving on a distant shore
a cold drink cupped in a strangers hands
