OK… you need a little more inspiration? Below is a list of the sour beer that will be available for tasting.
From Snake River Brewing…
Le Serpent Cerise – A Flanders red ale, aged in chardonnay barrels for a year with sour bugs. This tart and refreshing beer has a wonderful fruit aroma from the organic Oregon cherries added to it in the barrel. A firm malt body comes thru with a slight flavor of chocolate which mixes well with the oak from the barrel. 7% ABV
Sour Panda – This Belgian Quadruple style ale is aged in pinot noir and syrah for a year. Lactobacillus and brettanomyces continue to ferment the big beer until it is sour and funky. Organic Oregon blackberries are added once the desired tartness is achieved. The maltiness of the original beer helps to balance the acidity. Strong flavors of red wine and berries and oak. 12% ABV
Electric Kool-Aid Berlinerweiss – Classic German sour wheat ale with a twist. This low gravity beer is first fermented with lactobacillus to create its sourness. Then a German ale yeast is added to finish it out. Grapefruit is thrown in to give it some extra zip.The wheat malt in this beer add to a bread aroma and flavor. The grapefruit addition creates a subtle citrus flavor and aroma. 4.5% ABV
Danimnals’s Farmhouse – Belgian saison aged in chardonnay barrels with brettanomyces. The secondary fermentation creates a truly dry and crisp beer. Aromas of Pineapple, wood (oak and cedar) and spice.
SRB Grand Cru – Three different vintages of sour ale. 2011 Le Serpent, 2014 Le Serpent Framboise and 2013 Sour Panda blended together and topped off with a small amount of Triple Black Diamond Belgian ale. This beer is well balanced between its sour and malt flavors. Big dark fruit flavors and aroma dominate. Even so, this beer finishes crisp and dry with a cider-like flavor.
From Q Roadhouse Brewing… Raspberry Cherry Flanders – 1.5 years in an oak Edna Valley Chardonnay barrelPlum Sacred Brett – 1 year in JH Winery Pinot Noir barrelPineapple Hibiscus Sacred Brett – 1 year in JH Winery Syrah barrelSour Brown Brett – 2 years in Wyoming Whiskey barrelCurrant Kettle Sour – kettle sour with currants
This is going to be amazing. Come try all the beers, drink proper pours of your favorite hard to find local sour beers, chat with local brewers about the glory and science of sours beers, eat a fancy beer dinner and dance your face off afterwards!
