Our first foray into the "wild" world of brewing. We aged this Belgian-style ale in red wine barrels with Brettanomyces, Lactobaccilus, and Pediococcus for 18 months. The result is a tart, funky, and complex beer that is still quite easy on the palate. Enjoy from your favorite chalice at 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit.
