A Note on This Beer

When I heard that Anchorage, the brewery Thrillist describes as as “one of the best breweries in the game” was making a Black Sour Ale aged in whiskey and over 40 Pinot Noir barrels, I knew had to try it. 40 different barrels?! Unreal!

I tried telling my friends about this epic barrel aged Sour, but they just scoffed saying, “Nobody makes a beer with that much barrel depth!” But then I showed them my bottle of the Anadromous Black Sour and proved them wrong.  It features:

  • 12-14 month aging in whiskey and over 40 Pinot Noir Barrels which gives its smooth chocolate roasts additional layers of marionberry wine and oaky whiskey caramels.
  • Pleasing waves of cherry-like tartness provided by a house souring culture added in oak foeders.
  • This is the 2017 vintage. It benefits from 18 months of additional bottle conditioning, drawing out even more sherry-like, candied plum complexities.

With so many layers of oak, Anadromous earns comparisons to great releases from Cascade Brewing and takes barrel-aging to the brink of the unbelievable.  Have a sip and you’ll see though, this oaky dark sour is as real as it gets.

Dark chocolate and sour fruit. This was a wild combination of slightly sweet, sour and slightly dry bitter finish.
