They announced yesterday - "we'll have a tropical lambic style beer called Hexotic (375mL green bottle cork and cage), kriek (375mL green bottle cork and cage) returns (also from our lambic style series) as well as Krazy Pucker (500mL) Berliner. Bottle limits and event details TBA." (hexotic) "made with six tropical fruits, aged in oak for 2 1/2 years." I'm really looking forward to this. I will miss that gueuze though
Figured I'd try to revive this thread from a month ago, in an effort to provide more of the specifics; the "re-fermented Kriek," and the craziness going on in "Hexotic" sound delish Sourcopia 2015 will be November 14th at Two Roads On Saturday, November 14th, we will be releasing three very special sour ales at the brewery at our annual Sourcopia event. Doors will open at 10 a.m. with bottles going on sale at noon. Two lambic style beers and a berlinerweiss will be on sale. Patrons will be allowed to purchase a maximum of two of each style for a total of six bottles on a first-come, first-serve basis. Inspired by classic Belgian interpretations, Two Roads Kriek is a wheat-based brew re-fermented with sour cherries. After brewing, the lambic is mixed with the cherries and transferred into oak barrels where it ages for nearly two years until just the right level of cherry-like “funkiness” is achieved. The bottles are 375 mL with a cork and cage finish. 600 bottles will be on sale for $10 each. Also returning is Two Roads’ Berliner-style Weiss, “Krazy Pucker," in 500 mL bottles. 600 bottles will be on sale for $10 each. A Two Roads original creation we call “Hexotic" has been a work in progress at the brewery for over two years. The sour beer is made with six tropical fruits that include: Orange, passion fruit, mangosteen, gaunabana, guava & mango and aged in oak for 28 months. Hexotic is packaged in 375 mL cork and cage bottles. 600 bottles will be on sale for $10 each. During Two Roads' Sourcopia celebration on November 14th, all three of these specialties will be on draft in the tasting room (limited supply available). There will be local food trucks on site throughout the day (details to follow), and Brewmaster Phil Markowski will be leading a discussion on sour beers that afternoon in the Event Room starting at 1 p.m.
Yeah but it's sour, bro! /s Hexotic sounds good and a solid deal at $10. Let's see how Phil does with this and I hope Two Roads doesn't ruin it or make it too plain. Did anyone have last year's Kriek or "Gueuze"?
$10 is way too much, but I did enjoy the pucker. My first gueze was still and bland. The kriek was good. The other two are.. somewhere.
