A Single Branch started its life as a Flanders inspired sour red. The beer underwent primary fermentation with red wine yeast, brett, & lactobacillus before laying to rest for five months in red wine barrels. 200lbs of gorgeous, Balaton sour cherries from Jobst-Hof Orchards (just a bit up the highway from the brewery!) were then popped into one of our stainless tanks. We transferred the beer on top of the cherries for 6 more weeks of conditioning. Over that period, the sugars in the cherries fermented out & we picked up a ton of flavour & colour - including vinous character from the prolonged skin contact.
