Bruery Terreux Souren, an 8 Wired Collaboration

Bruery Terreux Souren, a new collaboration with New Zealand’s 8 Wired Brewing launches August 5th.

Soren Erikson of 8 Wired made a pit stop in The Bruery’s home of Placentia, creating a “California style” sour beer. The base is a Belgian-style golden ale, pinot noir grapes. Bruery Terreux Souren eventually came to rest in oak barrels.

Souren is named for our pal Søren who runs the show down in the far-off land of New Zealand at 8 Wired Brewery. Taking the long way home after a trip to the States, Søren and his team stopped off in Placentia for a day of brewing, and we created a very California-style sour beer together. Starting with a Belgian-style golden ale base, Pinot Noir grapes were added and the beer was sent to rest in barrels at Bruery Terreux. Over the year, the complexities grew and this grapey, funky, spicy beer was born. Half Kiwi, half American, this one has a rather handsome accent.

Bruery Terreux Souren is available in 750ml bottles. First released to Hoarders and Reserve Society members, then limited distribution.

Style: American Wild/Sour Ale (w/ Pinot Noir Grapes. Oak Aged.)
Availability: 750ml Bottles. Limited Release.
Launch: 8/5/15
