Southland Beer has a special collaboration with Cellador Ales named Blood Meridian that will be having a special release party on Thursday, April 3rd. It is brewed with both strawberries and Soursop which is a large, green fruit that has a spiny exterior while inside it has a creamy, white flesh. It has a sweet and sour flavor.
Firestone Walker has a new Primal Elements sour ale out now. This time around it is filled with pineapple, passionfruit, orange and guava that is aged in french oak barrels. As a fan of passion fruit, this sounds delicious.
If you are a Mai Tai fan, Paperback Brewing right here in Glendale has a new sour ale out for you, Tiki Tini.
You will get sweet lime, pineapple and cherry notes. If you are like me, you like that fruit salad mix and we all need to get our sour ale drinking done.
I really need to look harder for Oud Beersel offerings in beer shops. My aversion to sour in my tummy should not stop me from trying (and sharing) beers especially when they have the little used rhubarb in them.
Thornbridge Artesian is on my wish list because I cannot remember any beer with gooseberries in it. They are not well known and are not widely available so I haven’t had one in years but if my poor memory serves, they are a little tart with grape character paired with a botanical like elderflower would make a potent mix.
HiDef Brewing can put some spring into your step with a raspberry, peach and passion fruit combo sour ale, Spring Reverb.
Wild Ale. +Whiskey barrel. +smoked figs. That is Cellador Ales Figue Fumee.
Of course, special hours and ordering changes in effect but this beer will be worth it.
We stick with plums for another day as we head to Colorado and Upslope Brewing Company for their Wild Christmas. The base beer is an “ale aged in Oak Barrels with our house sour culture and re-fermented on red plums” . It is the Q4 release of their Lee Hill Series.
The next beer doesn’t sound very festive. Sounds more like danger and mopping but Prairie Artisan Ales has fashioned a sour ale with all the holiday spices sure to liven up a Christmas gathering.
I don’t know what is so special about foeder 65 but apparently it must have some good Oscar in it.
I do wonder what Missouri White Oak imparts into this upcoming New Belgium release.
And to add to the bounty, some single foeder Felix too….
