Friday, 8/15: The Melba Wizard Release

Join us Friday, 8/15 for our latest release, The Melba Wizard!

The Melba Wizard

Sour Ale w/ Peaches & Raspberries

4.4% ABV

When humans first began brewing beer, the science behind fermentation was not well understood and probably seemed a bit like magic. It’s likely that in those early days, microbes from the air and their wooden vessels would inoculate the wort, meaning that at one time, all beer was sour beer! In conjuring up a plan for this ale, we honored that natural sort of magic by culturing lactobacillus to quickly sour the whole batch. The resulting brew retains the magic of those bygone days, with a citrus-like tartness that awakens and refreshes your palate with each sip. Of course, any wizard worth the name has more than one trick up their sleeve. In this case, The Wizard has summoned a prodigious pile of peaches and a rush of rapturous raspberries to create an invigorating tonic guaranteed to amaze and delight. Grab a pint and share in the magic with us!

Enjoy a glass in the taproom and don't forget to grab a 4-pack! Distribution across Iowa will begin on Monday, August 18th.
