Pome & Stone

Our Pome & Stone sour cider is a blend of ciders fermented in barrels and steel tanks and then combined and finished in a ‘Lambic’ style. Historically, a fermented sour beer, called ‘gueuze,’ is fruited with the brewer’s choice of fresh fruit. This fruit ferments on top of the brew and adds a fresh and sharp fruit profile to the nose and the palate. At Finnriver, we added a heap Tonnemaker Farms whole organic stone fruits to a blended tank of soured cider (our gueuze) and let the resident yeast/bacteria finish their life on ripe fruit goodness. Gently carbonated to let the funk shine through and pasteurized to hold the sweetness. Fermented with three strains of Brettanomyces yeast, then soured with Pediococcus and Lactobacillus, the blend was gently oaked and completed with a lambic style, fruit finish. Show Less
