Bass Panzer – a sour black ale fermented in bourbon barrels.
Bass Panzer (pronounced “base”, as in the low sound tone) was 100 percent fermented in bourbon barrels using our mixed culture of farmhouse ale yeast, brettanomyces, and wild yeast and souring bacteria native to Coastal Virginia. As with all sour beer we make, fermentation with local, naturally occurring microflora was done to tie the liquid to our home and make it unique to our region.
