Official Upland Sour + Wild + Funk Fest Thread

We had some fun last weekend in Bloomington talking to Caleb. Thanks for sharing.

 

OH HELL NAH

I think rather than communicating via text/actually hanging out we should just quote each other in this thread

 

From our interview with Josh at Flat12 a couple months ago:

http://hoosierbeergeek.blogspot.com/2013/02/talking-wood-josh-hambright.html

HBG: What beer(s) are you most excited about?
Josh: Well, there is some Walkabout that somehow found Brettanomyces ("Brett") that you guys should try. We are probably bringing this with us to Upland Sour Fest (May 11th). This will not be part of the next version of Cuttlefish but will be released separately. We are experimenting with some primary fermentation in the barrels with belgian strains, but using the barrels instead of stainless steel as the vessel.
Note: We tried it and it is incredible. I hope they don't drink it all at the brewery before May.
HBG: Both you and Poff mentioned wanting to change the perception of what Brett can do in a beer. Kind of wanting to prove that Brett does not equal funky horse blanket rolled in moldy cheese.
Josh: This (Brett Walkabout) is what I wish people would think of when they think of Brett. There is some of the earthy characteristics and then you get the over-ripe fruit. Not rotten, but that last couple of days where you can really smell the flavor.

 

Done and done

 

Nice avatar, Jake.

Dude, I'm going to give you one of my lambics anyway, but if you're going to offer....

 

Got a pair of unexpected tickets today. This is going to be awesome.

 

guess I'll see you there!

 

That cheap? Really? It was $23 at Keg. If its that cheap, please, bring me one (or two). I know its only a few hours away, but I will check this around 10ish. What can I bring you?

Cheers!

 

I was told that Kahns has some.

 

Picked up a bottle at Crown this morning with tclang...also was randomly handed a bottle of gilgamesh, a bottle of rose de gambrinus, and a bottle of cuvee de ranke by the awesome guy working the counter

 

My father-in-law checked in to the $10 Muncie bottles after work yesterday. Store wised up, it is $20 now, and the owner was sitting in the parking lot listening to Diana Ross doing a mountain of cocaine with the profits.

 

Which Muncie store?
