This beer is very unique and inspired by breweries in the Lambic region of Belgium and, especially, our friends at Cantillon. It is 100% spontaneously fermented, meaning yeast is not added. Once the beer is brewed, it is transferred to a cool-ship or “horny” tank located in our barrel room at the pub. There it sits overnight and collects whatever funky wild yeast and bacteria may be living in the room. The next day it is transferred to oak wine barrels where it ferments wildly and ages for a few months. The end result is a wild, spontaneously fermented, sour, and tasty hand-crafted beer!

Thanks to Beer Savant for sharing a bottle from batch 002 and 005 during his 50th birthday bash. The beer pours a clear bright golden color (progressively cloudier) with a medium frothy white head that diminishes steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of brett, citrus and oak. Light-bodied and moderately sour with flavors of funky fruit, yeast and spice. The finish is tart with a bretty yeast aftertaste. Really good all around.
