Belgian Style Sour Ale with Cherries
Tahoma is very similar to the Devils in process. The only difference is the base beer and the varietal of cherry, so much of this applies to both Krieks. To add depth and complexity, we use a blend of both house yeasts. The clean fruitiness of the Abbey, and the subtle fruit but dry, lager like breadiness of the Kölsch play well with what we’re going for. The base beer is allowed to ferment all the way through. As the beer is being racked onto cherries in the totes, a portion of Brett beer is added to aid in the inoculation. Then we seal em up and send them safely to the warehouse. The rest is out of our hands. We have to let go, and let it do its thing. If we’ve done our job right, and kept things clean, everything should be fine. We check on it from time to time to see how it’s progressing, but let it sit. The anticipation is wonderful…
Yeast: Abbey, Kolsch, Brettanomyces lambicus
Hops: Sterling
Malt: Pilsner, Wheat
