This barrel-aged wild ale is named for our San Francisco neighborhood and pays tribute to the Flanders Red style of beer. Aged in wine barrels, this lightly tart ale is brewed with California Rainier cherries using a house blend of wild yeasts, bacteria and SF sourdough yeast. Pair this complex ale with ripe figs & blue cheese or seafood bouillabaisse.

Bottle pour at the DCBeer December 2025 share. I had this a while back, but not sure what batch it was - this one was batch 4. Poured a hazy ruby color with a off-white head. Aroma was sour fruits. Flavor was fruity, with a moderate amount of acid. Profile was pretty acidic. Tasty.
