System 2026 is a saison ale brewed with aged hops grown by collective member Luke Staples. The ale was brewed in August 2025 with organic heritage barley, malted organic wheat and entirely hopped with aged Perle hops from Balinga Hops in Balingup, WA. It was then barrel fermented in a single puncheon by a diversity of yeasts and bacteria collected from native flowers from NSW. It was aged for an additional 5 months before bottling with raw, unheated Blue Mountains Polyflora wild honey from naturally formed, bee-friendly Warré hives from Tim and Emma Malfroy and allowed to naturally condition and carbonate before release. Made exclusively for The Collective.
