Unintended for sure, but that didn’t stop Yazoo. A sour beer doesn’t doesn’t always mean it’s time for the drain. Yazoo’s brewmaster Linus Hall found the beer to be quite tasty, and sold it as Fortuitous. Of course, he did some research into why Sue went sour. Collier and McKeel Tennessee whiskey barrels have been chosen for this batch.

Yazoo Brewing’s latest Hop Project #64 has been bottled. The latest IPA features English hops. Specifically – Challenger, Progress, and Target.

After a couple of batches of #64, enough to get it distributed out to all of our distribution area, we’ll be getting some New Zealand hops in for #65.
