A yearly collab between like-minded brewers, this release brings together Luke from Bruny Island Beer Co. in Tasmania with Chris and Gab from Sailors Grave brewery in Gippsland.

The aim was create an idiosyncratic farmhouse ale that captures a moment in time at each location. As chance would have it, that circumstance was lockdown.

The result is a barrel aged open fermented red farmhouse ale made with Saison yeast and mixed cultures, matured for 12 months on neutral French oak before Bruny Island native pepperberry and fragrant Gippsland bay leaves were added. Another 3 months of bottle conditioning and it’s ready for you.

Pouring a burnt orange with a firm head, there’s rich caramel on the back palate and a subtle savoury earthiness and spice balancing the spicy saison yeast and mixed culture ferment. As it breathes, subtle oak notes linger and a pepperberry spice wraps it up.

6.6% ABV

What is Sour Beer?

There are many ways you can make sour tasting beers, but there are two main methods you'll see popping up on beer labels today...

  • Kettle Souring: The fastest way to get sour and funky. Kettle souring uses just one strain of bacteria to produce a clean, sour flavour. Lactobacillus is used to sour the wort, which takes just 24-48 hours! Speedy. Yeast is then added and the beer goes through fermentation, just like in any non-sour beer.

  • Mixed Fermentation: Time to get a little more traditional. This method uses a combination of different yeasts and bacteria to ferment and sour the beer. They're usually barrel aged (but not always) and age for months, sometimes years. The resulting beers are complex, with depth and layers—best sipped, not guzzled!

So Which One Should I Drink? If it's 30 degrees and you want something clean and fresh, reach for a kettle soured beer. If your beer nerd mate is coming over to open a few bottles, go for mixed fermentation.

And if you think you don't like sour beer, you probably just haven't found the right one yet.
