Collaboration with Rohrbach Brewing
This delicious German pale lager was brewed in collaboration with our friends at Rohrbach Brewing. Kettle soured then fermented on new American oak, sweet cherry puree and featuring a delightfully faint kiss of smoke, this beer is complex and crushable with a very clean refreshing finish. Perfect for early fall days.

On tap at Roc Brewing Co in Rochester, NY.
The make-up of this beer is so odd - a kettle-soured European lager aged on oak with cherries? It's also smoked? What is going to happen here?
This one pours a slightly muddy-looking dark red color, with a small head, and not much lacing.
This smells like funky cherry puree, very light smoke, and oak.
This came out tasting much more normal than I would have expected - which I guess is a victory? It's only lightly sour and lightly smokey - either of these flavors coming out stronger would have ruined the beer. It's mostly cherry here, light tart, but mostly sweet and mildly funk. I get a touch of oak, and that's a nice flavor to have here.
This is light bodied, but not super clean, with a lower level of carbonation. It's decently drinkable anyway.
I appreciate the willingness to make a beer unlike any I've seen before. It's not 100% successful, but I enjoyed drinking it.
