Imperial sour blonde ale aged in French oak barrels with Picpoul Blanc grapes

Picpoul Blanc is an especially rare grape for wineries to get their hands on, as there are very few planted areas in the country. Imagine how difficult it is then for a brewery to get a chance to brew with them. After years of working to acquire this varietal and press the boundaries of what can be achieved with wine grapes and beer, we at Bruery Terreux finally got our chance. Virtuous Vine is an imperial sour blonde ale aged in French Oak Barrels, featuring juice from pressed whole cluster Picpoul Blanc grapes from Halter Ranch Winery that was blended and re-fermented with our house cultures. We hope you enjoy this rare, luscious treat as much as we enjoyed seeking out the grapes and creating this beer.
