Flanders Fields

This barrel aged sour brown ale is our Texas tribute to a traditional style of the Flemish region of Belgium. We began with Texas grown pilsner, munich and chocolate malts. Vista’s well water and house-aged hops mingle nicely with a strain of Brettanomyces isolated from a small Belgian brewery. Fifteen months in a neutral oak give us a balanced sour brown ale which pays tribute to the style.

Named in honor of the poem by John McCrae written as a tribute to fallen soldiers on WWI.
“Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.” Show Less
