There and Back Again is a tale of a spontaneous fermentation, isolation, confiscation, rejuvenation, mutation, and finally perturbation. This sour American wild ale is a collaborative effort with our dear friend Dr. Jason Rodriguez. We took our house "honey badger" mixed culture (no saccharomyces) and allowed it to ferment and sour over several months before refermenting it on cherries. The result is a bright and clean cherry pie boosted by the tropical expression of our microorganisms. This beer is unfiltered, unpasteurized, naturally carbonated and will continue to evolve over time if properly cellared. These new labels feature Dr. Rodriguez’s original images of the wild yeast culture at 100x magnification. This beer took gold at this year's Tap NY beer festival.
