A strong sour ale fermented with wild yeast and bacteria that pours a beautiful violet color. The Oregon-grown Gamay grapes used in this beer come to us courtesy of Tom and Kate Monroe of the SE Wine Collective. Bottle conditioned with Brettanomyces for added complexity and cellarability. Wine and beer together forever!
