Cherry Parliament
Sour Ale | 500ml | ABV 7.5%
Loosely inspired by a Belgian-style Flanders Red ale, this beer is an exercise in balancing fruit and acid with some more complex malt character. We aged our red sour base in wine barrels with bing cherries from Hood River for about a year before transferring into freshly emptied Maestro barrels (former bourbon). The American oak adds a distinct vanilla note and there’s a hint of malt sweetness from the barleywine that helps round out the beer.
