Ramos gin fizz cocktail-inspired American wild ale aged in wine barrels

Many things can happen when collaborating breweries come together. Like with us and Jester King. We both share a deep affinity for sour and wild beers. But rather than rest on our laurels, we challenged ourselves to brew a beer reminiscent of a nearly forgotten, early 20th century cocktail, the Ramos gin fizz, employing our wildly traditional methods to do so. We began with some of the cocktail’s signature ingredients - lemon, lime, and orange zest, and gin botanicals- and then let our collaborative brewing process run wild. The result is laden with herbal and floral notes, bright lemon and lime zest, vanilla, warm oak and comforting spices. The Ramos gin fizz is a hard cocktail to find, and when you do, it takes 10 minutes to make. Our collaboration with Jester King will be similarly elusive; however, it took nearly a year in the making.
