The Rare Barrel Tigerlily The Rare Barrel (Cellarmaker) Berkeley, California

Common descriptors are Tigerlily is a golden sour aged in oak barrels with ginger and hibiscus added. We fermented this beer with Brettanomyces bruxellensis var. Drei Fontenien and Lactobacillus delbrueckii. A big component of sour beer is blending. While it typically happens on a larger scale with our barrels and in our blending tanks, the idea for this blend came on a much smaller scale when Jay, our blender and brewer was blending Sourtooth Tiger and Cosmic Dust from our taps. The flavor combination was an instant hit and Tigerlily was born. |
