    Our Next small batch will show up in the tasting room Sunday 5/11 please let us know what you think.


    RICKEY
    ABV: 7.0% | SRM: 8 | IBU: SOUR

    This trip starts as many do on a sunny Sunday afternoon at the tippy, discussing grill cleaning, spring, cherry blossoms and the flavors that coincide with the transition from spring rain to summer sun. Talk makes its way around the circle to Jeremy who offers, "Cherry and lime kind of kick ass together." The evolution from that declaration to Rickey was a short one. Sourness from wild lactic fermentation pulls taught against the heady juiciness of the fruit, with a light finishing touch of juniper berries stitching it together. Drink Rickey because blossoms turn to fruit.

    Is this one sour like MCTW and Sandy (both great) or funky like Intermezzo (not so great)?

    Hey Augie,

    Think this will last until next weekend (May 17th - 18th)? Thinking about making a trip down to you guys after running the Brooklyn Half Marathon

    well let me start with i loved mezzo but i get that you didn't, it definitely was too far for some people.
    For a funk litmus I hate that more cheeses don't smell like epoisses so my barnyard quest is pretty deep compared to some. That being said this is probably somewhere on the lighter end of the middle of that spectrum. The cherry's and limes were already somewhat sour so we focused on the more corrupt side of lacto but it wouldn't have held up like wasabi did. in general its a richer, and sweeter beer than any of the others we've let go wild so far. I'm not sure how it will work for you you are gonna have to let us know. Standing by

    no plans to do anything differently "soon" its a space thing, we have been out of room pretty much since day 1. There are a million plans to do all kinds of things, as we figure out how to do them our way. baby steps baby steps

    I would imagine that any place that usually gets their seasonals/one off's will get this one. Things like Decoy, Digger, Epitome, GORP, Intermezzo, etc.
