Shelving Seasons invites you to experience the shifting rhythms of the year through brewed and distilled flavors drawn from the Northern Black Forest. The duo traces the seasonal transitions that reveal cycles of scarcity and abundance—patterns long mirrored in traditional preservation methods. The fleeting nature of seasonal ingredients has historically shaped our food cultures, captured in techniques like fermenting, drying, smoking and distilling. With modern refrigeration and freezing, our relationship to time, flavor, and place has changed. What role do the seasons still play in the products that surround us? How are the landscapes embedded in the things we consume?

In partnership with Celeste Café/Bar, the duo will present two drinks that explore these tensions—between past and present, abundance and absence—through tactile, tickling flavors. They are served from a coolbox grown from mycelium and wool, evoking both age-old practices of storing and new rituals of sharing.
