Wild Child: Blueberry

When our pub was flooded in the summer of 2011, we lost the two oak barrels hat I used to produce sour beers.

A few years ago, we started up the barrel program again at The Alchemist. It is a very modest assortment totaling about 30 barrels of varying pedigree. We brew the beers and inoculate them with the bacterial cultures found in some of my favorite examples of the style.

The goal of this program is to occasionally produce some wonderful creations that I find myself compelled to share ,while at the , keeping the whole process fun. These releases will be different every time, and who knows when the next one will be ready.

You are holding a blend that I have deemed worthy of your attention. This sour blond ale was aged between one to three years in oak, and another six months in the bottle.
Prior to bottling it spent a few weeks on 200 pounds of fresh Vermont Blueberries from Sam Mazza's farm.

Wild Child originated as an homage to our then three year old son, Charlie. He is 16 now, and as wild as ever. I hope you enjoy this delightful treat in the company of friends. Show Less
