Sour Beer (20)

The Salty Lady is our interpretation of a Gose – a rather obscure, tart, salty German style beer. Our version is soured in the kettle with a lactic culture. The tartness is tempered by salt additions from around the world and finished with coriander for a citrus and earthy touch. We ferment with our house saison yeast to put our own little spin on the style. Its flavor is reminiscent of a sports drink at the end of a 110 degree day.

True Love is our second sour beer that is now available year-round. Similar to the Salty Lady, it is kettle soured and very refreshing. Raspberries are added in the fermenter which provide a purple hue and slight sweetness. Give it a try. You'll fall in love with True Love, one can at a time. With summertime right around the corner, True Love is your best option for a poolside brew. Grab the cooler, pickup some ice, and crash your neighbor's pool party. Maybe snag an extra 6pack and be sure to spread the love.

Named after a major roadway that cuts through Silver Spring and DC, this beer is a delightful balance of sour and juicy. Just right. Or rather, just peachy. Perfect on a warm summer day.

Primary fermented with our mixed culture of wild yeast, Sour Rosé undergoes fermentation in large oak foeders on raspberries and blueberries. Showcasing bright effervescent characteristics, Sour Rosé is the perfect sour beer for all seasons and occasions. Unfiltered and naturally wild, we package each can with a small amount of yeast to maintain maximum freshness for wherever life’s adventures take you.

Lindemans' first new fruited lambic in over a decade. Choosing strawberry, one of the most noble of fruits, was easy: the complex sweetness of the fruit matches perfectly with the sourness of lambic, resulting in a unique balanced marriage of sweet and sour.

This kettle sour is brewed with Belgian yeast and our house Lactobacillus blend. It is then fermented with blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackcurrant. Aroma of bright berry blend with a hint of wheat leads into a light tart flavor with a sweet juicy finish of all the berries. A light refresher perfect for warm spring days on the patio. *This is a rotating beer series and is subject to change*

Key Lime Pie Nitro is as tart and tropical as the mouth-watering dessert it’s named for. This sour ale combines the puckering brightness of real lime juice and lime peel with creamy lactose richness. Our blend of malts is enhanced by vanilla and cinnamon, providing a layer of flavor reminiscent of graham cracker crust. This velvety, citrusy sour is then finished off with the addition of nitrogen. As you watch all the tiny Nitro bubbles cascade into your glass, the pillowy head tops off your experience like a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Each sip mimics a spoonful of Key Lime Pie, and we bet you can't have just one slice.

Sour ale aged on cherries

Vicious Hook is a one-two combo of sweet and tart that stuns you with a pucker punch. Delivering on its fruit punch promise, Vicious Hook’s big juicy tropical flavors pop making this an innovative sour that offers high pucker and low bitterness.

In the heroine Atalanta, we see the traits of what we aim for in all of our beers: piquant, deceptively robust, and a bit wild. A tart plum saison, Atalanta tastes of plums intermingling with spicy yeast, and a refreshing tartness that makes Atalanta as good for pairing with food as by itself.

Deliciously fruity with the fresh flavor of freshly picked cherries. Its sharp and full-bodied flavor gives way to a perfect balance between sweet and sour.

An experimental take on the Berliner weiss. We sour-mash a wheat based malt bill (we let it sit in the mash tun over the weekend to sour naturally) then lager it to avoid the more fruity funk that comes with the style. Lightly tart, but not super sour, the finished beer is infused with fresh hibiscus flowers and a dash of pureed black currant to provide this lingering but dry dark berry note, and a tannic zip from the organic hibiscus tea

A REFRESHING BALANCE OF JUICY & TART Born from our passion for experimentation, our Briney Melon Gose boasts a thirst-quenching tartness that is perfectly balanced by subtle watermelon flavors and aromas. Gentle additions of sea salt create a refreshing harmony between the acidity and fruity sweetness leading to clean, dry finish.

Glowing golden color, with a nose that fills the room with the aroma of fresh peaches. Peche offers a sparkling, crisp and refreshing balance of sweet orchard fruit woven together with lambic tartness & acidity.
