#2 Blodgengüch - Sour Vienna Lager in collaboration with Jason Oliver, former brewer at Oliver's Brewing Co & Gordon Biersch, Head Brewer of Devils Backbone Brewing Company, Roseland, Virginia.

For the second installment in our reUNION Collaboration Series, our very own Kevin "Blodge" Blodger reached out to this longtime brother-in-brew and GABF Medal Machine, Mr. Jason "Gooch" Oliver of Devils Backbone Brewing Company to collaborate on a brew. In true Blodge & Gooch style, these accomplished brewers created a new German-leaning style of beer - The Blodgengüch (pronounced Blaad•jen•gooch).

"I can't remember when I first met the Gooch but it was around the time of my first brewing job in the early 00's in DC. We quickly became good friends and a few years later coworkers. I, like the rest of the brewing world, was not surprised to see the success he achieved at Devils Backbone. This beer is a tribute to our friendship and our love for lagers and sour beer. Brewed with Vienna, Munich, Cara-Red Malts and Noble German hops: Tettnang and Pearle. The beer is created as a traditional Vienna Lager then soured with Lactobacillus to give it a tart flavor. We fermented with a German Lager strain and dry hopped with German Tettnang hops to give the beer some earthy hop notes. We hope you drink this one with some good friends. Prost! - Kevin "Blodge" Blodger" Show Less
