ATLAS & THOR start with a sour red ale base, fermented for many months in one of our spontaneous solera vessels. These large aging tanks were originally filled using 50 gallons of coolship spontaneous beer and then more wort was added over a period of time until the vessel was full. Over the last three years, a small portion of the finished beer has been removed for packaging, which was then replaced with fresh wort, allowing the beer to mature. No cultured microbes have been added during the entire process.
These sister beers are made using the same base beer and fruits, but with different amounts of the black currant and plum. ATLAS is 75% black currant and 25% plum and THOR is 75% plum and 25% black currant.
