Almanac Cerise Sour Blond

Limit 1 Bottle Per Household Per 48 Hours. This beer is inspired by the long and hot summer days in the San Joaquin Valley ¡ªthe fertile basin that yields much of California’s bountiful produce. This tart blond ale was brewed with Rainier and Bing cherries from Bella Viva Orchards and fermented with our house sour culture and aged for many months in used wine barrels to create a tart cherry-kissed wild ale. Farm to BarrelOur Farm to Barrel beers focus on the eons-old tradition of aging beers in oak barrels. This American wild ale was aged in used wine casks with our house ¡°Dogpatch¡± sour culture a cocktail of wild Belgian and American yeasts including San Francisco sourdough starter. The yeasts slowly morph the beer from a traditional ale into something wild creating a mild acidic bite as well as pulling oak and vanilla flavors from the barrel. After maturing the barrels are blended together ¡ªcreating a vinous delicate beer that captures the essence of a particular harvest. Farm to Barrel Beers are alive in the bottle and will continue to mature gracefully for several years.
