Half Acre & Mikkeller, Round 2

Half Acre Brewing (Chicago, IL) and Mikkeller (Um, everywhere) collaborated on Guest Lager once before. The collab is touted as an “ode to all things nonsensical.” This hoppy lager is available in both draft and 16oz cans.

At 8% ABV, clean, Pilsner and Vienna malts, support a lager masquerading with the hop kids. Falconer’s Flight and Nelson Sauvin serve up a dank, orange blossom mouth fantasy that’ll hide your shoes under the bed and ask you to stay awhile.

Grab this special offering in the tap room starting today.

Style: Lager
Availability: 16oz Cans, Draft
Arrival: 4/4/14

Lambic, The Rundown. 

A lambic is a spontaneously fermented beer. What’s that? The beer is exposed to wild yeasts and bacteria. In this case (most likely) these wild yeasts live in the oak of the barrels they are aged in. The result is a tart/sour tasting beer.
