Come level up your Sour Ale expertise with BarrelHouse -- a brewery that enjoys thunderous approval in the Tavour community, scoring over a 4.0 every time!

Next Up: BarrelHouse’s pluot-infused, French oak aged 2015 vintage Wild Dapple Fire Sour Ale. A sip of this vintage will reveal how cellaring delivers more depth of fruit and tart panache compared to younger Sour Ales.

Wild Dapple gives you a front row seat into the sweet lychee honey notes of the Dapple Fire variety of pluots BarrelHouse employees painstakingling harvested by hand.  The tangy qualities of this apricot and plum hybrid resonate sharply with the oak aged sour base.  Cellaring draws out the finely tuned tartness of the wild yeast, while melding the alcohol seamlessly into the stonefruit nectar.

Taste the effects of cellaring on a finely-crafted Sour and you’ll likely be inspired to experimentally age all of your Sours.  Just don’t expect many of them to live up to BarrelHouse’s hand-crafted excellence.
