WHITE ANGEL is an American Sour Ale blended with two pounds per gallon of locally harvested Muscadine and Scuppernong grapes and aged in white wine barrels. After eight months, another pound per gallon of Amarillo wine must is blended in stainless steel tanks for 2 months. A total of 2.5 tons of fruit and 10 total months of maturation later we give you White Angel.
Brewery co-founder and head blender Walt Dickinson tells Beer Street Journal that the 2016 edition really exceeded his expectations. The grapes really pop, making this one hard to put down.
Wicked Weed White Angel is a 500 milliliter bottle release, only at the Funkatorium in Asheville, North Carolina. Bottle pickup for the 2016 release takes place on August 27th, and 28th.
