Texas red wine barrel-aged wheat beer. 85% white wheat Hefeweizen, Blondine, aged 3-4 months in red wine barrels to create a TX dry rose wheat beer. Each release highlights a different winery and a different varietal.

Here at New Braunfels Brewing Company we love wine a whole lot. The passion and creativity of our TX winemakers inspire us to seek out new flavors and new perspectives something....something....metaphor for life.
We barrel-aged out 85% white wheat sour beer, Blondine, before refermenting with TX grown red wine pomace. Our mixed culture of wild yeast and bacteria create a tart, funky balance for bold grape flavors. Das Lokal drink dry and tannic with full flavors of minerality and balanced acidity. We recommend sipping, but you just do what you want. Just please put it in your face.

Pour is a deep red - like I’m pouring merlot. No head.
Nose is lemony tart. Red wine, ripe berries.
Taste is juicy, tart red grapes. Oaky tannin. Blackberry. Hint of lemon. Dry finish. Hint of brett

On tap at Vine in the Vinyard in Bulverde, Tx.

Typical of the style, it don't look like much. Pink and lightly hazy, zero head or lace.

However, the smell and taste are lovely. Lightly sour and nicely fruity.

Definitely worth the trip to this place, great beer and food, great atmosphere.
