Description
Ancient Beer, Modern Method.

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.

A4 draught, 7/10/23. Moderately hazy, ruby-cardmel. Large, off-white head, good retention. Round lactic acid, light, sweet, fruity, acetic acid, juicy, sweet, pink guava. Hardly can tell it's a sour but for the light lactic acidity and gentle balsamic. Malty, juicy with cherry, strawberry, light guava and even some rustic graininess. I like that it starts out sweet but end quite dry. No punchy lactic acid, only moderate, mellow acidity. Very light guava character. Clean, well-fone, dry and flavorful with plentiful malt.

Draught at Painted Burro, 7/8/23. Minimally hazy, blueberry juice-violet. Small, blueberry-tinted head steadily to ring. Light lactic acidity, not punchy, rather mellow, accompanying lightly tart, fruity, well-expressed blueberry. Low malt, some cracker and maybe light wheat. Clean, no alcohol. Maltier than expected up front, pleasingly so, with good attenuation and a juicy blueberry character that isn't too acidic. Lactic acidity is mellow, not punchy/sharp. Surprisingly easy-drinking and mellow.
