Hermitage Brewing Boysenberry Sour and Pumpernickel Sour

Hermitage Brewing Pumpernickel Rye Sour Ale...$13.99 / 750ml
Sour Pumpernickel Rye is our latest release from the Hermit’s Barrel Cellar. The base beer is a dark, strong ale, brewed with about 20% rye malt and aged in American whiskey barrels. The beer pours a deep brown color and exhibits aromas of sour dough, caraway, and dark berry. The tart fruit character carries over into the fl avor, highlighted by hints of oaky vanilla, caraway, and cocoa, with an underlying bready sweetness. There is a definite warming e ffect as the 10.5% ABV moves through you. The finish is dry, but the discernible taste of dark rye bread lingers on the palate.
Serve with charcuterie, sauerkraut, and pickles.

Hermitage Brewing Boysenberry Sour...$24.99 / 750ml
Boysenberry Sour is the very first sour project that we put together for ourselves here at Hermitage, way back in July of 2012. The base beer was actually fermented in the wood, so the beer spent its entire life inside California wine barrels. After a long, slow aging process of about two years we added hundreds of pounds of Boysenberries to the barrels and let the fruit deliciousness meld with the delicate wine-like character of the beer. The end result is a complex-yet-drinkable, pleasantly tart, fruit-forward beer that develops on the palate with every sip. Sour beer the Hermit way.
