Yep. We did a thing with Crooked Handle for their 5 year anniversary! Long ago in the “before times” we brewed a sour red and added new brettanomyces isolates to the barrels. The resulting beer was aged on cranberries and raspberries before being naturally carbonated.

500 ml bottle, bottled 11/24/20, purchased at Crooked Handle. Served in a Pretentious Barrel House chalice, the beer pours a reddish/light brown color with about an inch and a half pinkish/off-white head that stuck around a while. Decent amount of lacing. Aroma is nice and fruity, the brew smells like raspberries, cranberries, oak, earthiness and red wine/grapes. I think the taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also the addition of some tart dark fruit and raspberry jam flavors. Flavor is more sour than sweet, but the sourness doesn't overpower the sweet. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it's easy to drink with a good amount of soft carbonation. I thought it was an enjoyable sour, worth picking up if you get the chance to.
