Sour Ale Aged in Wine Barrels with Wineberries Added
Wineberries, Rubus phoenicolasius, are native to Asia. When gardeners planted them in America, they broke containment. Wineberries are now a common sight in the woods of Maryland. On a hot July afternoon, we foraged 30 pounds of these intensely jammy and sticky berries with help from our friends from Baltimore restaurants foraged and Fadensonnen. We added our haul to a 5-grain saison aged in natural red wine barrels from Old Westminster Winery. For the base beer we blended malted barley, spelt, and Maryland-grown buckwheat, corn, and millet.

Murky plum color appearance with minimal head. Bright berry flavor, wine barrel, and a slight sour funk. Moderate carbonation and mouthfeel.
