Summer Wild: Almanac Cerise Sour Blond

Slated to come any now is Almanac Beer Co.’s Cerise Sour Blond. Meant for hot summers like the one in San Joaquin Valley of California, Cerise Sour Blond uses fresh cherries, then aged in wine barrels. An American wild ale built to beat the heat.

This beer is inspired by the long and hot summer days in the San Joaquin Valley—the fertile basin that yields much of California’s bountiful produce. This tart blond ale was brewed with Rainier and Bing cherries from Bella Viva Orchards and fermented with our house sour culture and aged for many months in used wine barrels to create a tart, cherry-kissed wild ale.
