Before the week is completely over—this week I received a bottle of Crux Fermentation Project’s latest [Banished] series limited beer: Bramble Candy Barrel-Aged Blackberry Sour Ale. This definitely looks like an interesting one:

After months ripening in red wine barrels with a tangled blend of brettanomyces, lactobacillus, and pediococcus, we infused our wild farmhouse ale with a tart twist in the form of Oregon blackberries. Dripping with juicy berry notes balanced by a funky earthiness, this creative mix of wild cultures is a sour beer lover’s delight.

I’m a big fan of blackberry so I’m looking forward to opening it; will report as I go.
