Fermenting since 2014 with only wild brattleboro mixed culture yeast. continually pushing boundaries of new sour beer. brewhouse fueled by wood, not fossils.
To truly understand terroir and wild yeast, a brewer must come to terms with the type of beer that “wants to be made” in their region. We are proud of Brattleboro’s wild yeast for its balance, its stone fruit and pecan character, and how dry and effervescent it leaves the beer. We are grateful to our region’s farms for the availability of world class hops and fruits, as well as to our area distilleries for unique and beautiful oak barrel flavor histories.
We delight in making beer that could only be made in our place, with our team, supported by our community and environment.

Canned. Deep brown pour. Super tart and a yeasty funk that overpowered the rye malts.

Canned 7/7/23, drunk 7/28/24. Clear, bright, burnished brass-golden. Very large, off-white head, well-retained. Nose is incredibly fruity with a strong but not too punchy lacto backbone. Lightly vinous, a touch earthy, musty, cellar-like. Rustic grains. Tart, vivacious and malty with a great rusticity and lip-smacking but not overdone or punchy acidity on the finish. Seems the age has done it well, as it's mellow, malty and very fruity with just enough tartness and a good dryness and balance. All that said, this isn't barrel-aged and thus you still get a bit of powdered sugar-like quality that is common in kettle sours.
