Barn Owl (Blend No. 27)

The Barn Owl series is a fun one, because every release is a one-off — meaning we don’t retrace our steps or recreate the beers. That gives us freedom to pull beers whenever they taste ready, blend as we see fit, and do away with the notion of a more formal “recipe”. Our vision for No. 27 was simple: the perfect golden sour ale. We started by brewing pale golden ales, fermented them in stainless with a mixed house culture, aged them in oak foeders, and opted to forego a dry hop. The end result is lambic-esque with bright, fruit-forward acidity.
