Barrel-Aged Beer with Raspberries
Every chef knows that when seasonal ingredients speak, you listen. The surprise offer of a fresh raspberry delivery was too good to pass up, so this beer was blended on the fly and in homage to these humble little succulents at their peak. Reminiscent of the award-winning Ruby, My Dear, this brilliantly red, effervescent sipper delivers on the promise of juicy, sweet raspberries plucked fresh from the bush, with a balanced and dry tartness that comes from years of honing our craft. Pucker up butter cup, this kiss of serendipity will be your song of the summer.

Bottle pour at Barrel Fest 2025, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma gas fragrant raspberries sitting atop a nice wild yeast base, light funk, and wood. Flavour has bright, tart raspberries, lots of acidity, wild yeast, and some light wood. Plenty of tart raspberries, moderately acidic finish. Very good.

Bottle pour at Barrel Fest 2025. Pours clear red with a white head. Lots of fresh raspberries and some grass on the nose. Flavour has a great raspberry expression, moderate acidity, good level of funk. Nicely done.
