Big Black Violet

Big Black Violet
Flower Licorice Sour
Fantasy Reality

You need to see it through when you get an idea you just can’t shake. And this is one of those ideas. Big Black Violet is a black sour beer with licorice and voilet. Alluring, like an 80’s black light poster. Enticing, like a stroboscope. Also different!

Many years ago, we took inspiration from candy and brewed a one-off, 3,5% vol. beer called Black Apple. A black sour beer! An apple and licorice sour beer.

It did not take long for that beer to become one of our most requested beers to bring back. So a few years later, we did another one-off, a bigger one. The new version was a 6% vol. Bigger, blacker, and applier. A beer placed somewhere between fantasy and reality. It still had all the properties of the original beer, just more of them.

Since then, Big Black Apple has become a grail for many. So when it was time to bring back the apple beer, we thought it only appropriate to let it come back with a friend. We’ve been sampling even more candy and found a violet/licorice combo that did our head in. Expect the unexpected. Illusion! Show Less
