Mikkeller Spontaneous Series: SpontanPeach

Mikkeller unleashes a new round of Spontaneous Series beers in 2013. Joining the series is SpontanPeach. The fruit is added to the base beer, a lambic fermented in oak.

SpontanPeach will join SpontanElderflower, SpontanRosehip and SpontanGooseberry.

Style: Lambic (w/ Peaches)
Availability: 11.2 oz bottles
Arrival: TBA

7.7% ABV

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.

Terrapin Readies Maggie’s “Peach” Farmhouse Reboot

Terrapin Beer Co (Athens, GA) is bringing Maggie back. A bit of history returns. Nearly 4 years ago, the brewery released Maggie’s Farmhouse as Side Project #7. Fast forwarding to this week, they the brewery has been busy with a new batch with a twist – peaches.

It’s not a side project this time around either, but a part of the seasonal sessions (with Moo-Hoo, Hop Karma, & Pumpkinfest.) Look for it in 4 packs this summer.

You’ll recall another time Terrapin brewed with peaches – in the Terrapin/Left Hand collaboration Peaotch.

New brewhouse in action…
