Our third edition of Demure Defiance is here! In 2020 our team was able to travel out to the blueberry farm that we have gotten our berries from every year. Not only was this a team bonding activity but it was a great opportunity for us to see the hard work that goes into Demure Defiance before the beer even hits steel! Demure Defiance is an imperial saison base aged across Copper Fox Rye whisky and Virginia wine barrels. After oak aging, this sour ale was blended in steel and conditioned for 3 months on fresh blueberries from Eastern North Carolina. The mix of 3rd and 4th use barrel characters bring pleasant oak notes to the bright floral aroma from the blueberries. This sour fruit beer's beautiful rose color will draw you in, but it's the flavors that will keep you coming back for more.

Pour bright, clear ruby into a tulip. Pink head with medium retention crackles and recedes to hug rim. Sour blueberry, blackberry and cherry aromas. Tart with blueberry and aspirin upfront turning quickly to a lactic, dry, lasting finish.
