Natty Greene’s American Sour 2016, a 2 year process
Natty Greene’s American Sour 2016 has been released by the Greensboro, North Carolina brewery. The 2015 release of this American Sour was one of Beer Street Journal’s favorite releases of the year.
In keeping with the Flanders red ale tradition, the brewery has created a 70/30 blend of an amber ale and brown ale, and re-ferment them in oak barrels with a blend of wild & sour bacteria and yeast. The process takes at least two years.
“American Sour is so much more than a beer. It’s the result of 18+ months of nurturing and aging. It’s true mix of art and science that our Brewmaster and founder of Natty Greene’s Sour Program, Scott Christofell, has perfected,” said co-founder of Natty Greene’s Kayne Fisher. “It’s only appropriate that it’s label matches the beer’s history and flavor.”
Natty Greene’s American Sour 2016 is available in 750 milliliter bottles in limited quantities.
Style: American Wild/Sour Ale (Oak Aged)
Hops: Magnum, Willamette, Santiam
Malts: Base, Munich 1, Cara 2.0, Cara B, Cara Munich 3, Special B.
Availability: 750ml Bottles
Debut: June, 2016

Natty Greene’s Red Nose Winter Ale returns
Natty Greene’s Red Nose Winter Ale rejoins the lineup in in November. This the fifth and final seasonal of the brewery’s 2015 portfolio.
Natty Greene’s Red Nose Winter Ale is a red ale, brewed with orange peel and spices.
“Red Nose is brewed with the holidays in mind. The base is a classic American red ale, a beer that’s slightly sweeter than an Amber, made with plenty of caramel malts and just enough hops for balance,” said Natty Greene’s Head Brewer, Scott Christoffel. “We then bring in a spice profile that supports the aroma of the beer: fresh ginger for a nice bite, orange peel for just the right amount of tartness, and cinnamon for a clean top note.”
Natty Greene’s Red Nose Winter Ale is available in 12 once bottles and draft until the end of the year.
Style: Winter Warmer (w/ Orange Peel, Spices)
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft. Seasonal.

Natty Greene’s Elm Street Launches in April
Natty Greene’s Elm Street English-style IPA will join the brewery’s lineup starting in April. The traditional English-style is named for the for the street where the original brewhouse is located. The silo on the label is still on Elm Street.
Like a Traditional English IPA, Elm Street has a strong maltiness that is accented by an earthy, herbal hop note. Its malt forward character is preserved and highlighted by using a London-style yeast. Natty Greene’s adds their American touch by dry hopping the brew with three Oregon varieties. Unlike the herbal-note hops used by the Brits, Oregon hops give a fruitier flavor and peach-like tone that, added with the malt profile, create a well-rounded and refined IPA.
Natty Green’s Elm Street hits distribution the first week of April. Expect it on tap until June.
Style: English-style IPA
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft. Spring seasonal
Release: April, 2015
6.4% ABV, 55 IBUs
