Description: For this release we teamed up with our good friends at Bootleg Biology. They are a local Nashville yeast lab with world wide recognition in their efforts to isolate and catalog a native yeast from every zip code in the USA. For this project Jeff and Issac created a special blend of multiple Brettanomyces yeasts along with multiple sour/acid producing Lactobacillus/Pediococcus bacterias from their extensive microbe library. We wanted this complex blend of funky/sour microbes to really shine so we fermented a Blonde ale in a Merlot French Oak barrel. The beer underwent a secondary fermentation with Vanilla Beans and 55lbs of Rainier Cherries added to the barrel. This type of cherry is unusual since they are yellow on the inside and mostly golden on the outside. Unlike most cherries these provide no color change in the beer, only flavor
