Sensory Series Volume #3 featuring Tennis




Stillwater Sensory Series Volume v. 3 Night Vision...$12.99 / 750ml

The Stillwater Sensory Series is a collaboration between Stillwater Artisanal and singular musical artists. In the third volume, Stillwater works with Tennis to make an ale based on an interpretation of their song, "Night Vision." On the bottle itself, a QR code links to this exclusive performance of the song. Ultimately, this is a true artistic collaboration that aims to create a full sensory experience - sound, sight, smell, touch, and taste.

"Night Vision" by Tennis



Tennis is Denver couple Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley. The duo began writing music together as a way to document the history of their time living aboard a sailboat. Their new album "Ritual in Repeat" was released on September 9, 2014.


"I was introduced to Patrick & Alaina by mutual friends back in Baltimore where we gathered around to listen to some early recordings of their album while drinking some of my beer. When the song 'Night Vision' came on, i was instantly drawn in.


It seemed like a departure from their previous work, it was dark, minimal and driving, but then Alaina's lovely voice shined through and made it what is definitively, Tennis. This i knew had to be the inspiration for v.3 of the Sensory Series. A solid light orange body weighing in at 6.9% ABV with rays of citrusy hops and the expression of wild yeasts."

-Brian Strumke (Stillwater Artisanal)
