On Saturday Hoppy visited two brewery taprooms and one brewery. His first visit was at the newly opened taproom of Guggman Haus in the SoBro district. This is in a space that was formerly occupied by Scarlet Lane Brewing.
While there Hoppy sampled an Into the Wild Sour: Raspberry and Lemon Berliner Weisse – Brewed with raspberry and lemon with an addition of fresh vanilla beans. Described as a very tart and refreshing raspberry-forward rendition of a raspberry lemonade. A wild yeast strain provided natural souring and milk sugars and oats help create a creamy body for this bright sour. 7% ABV.
He also drank an Orange and Pink Guava Kettle Sour Berliner Weiss – This is built on a base of Golden Promise and chit malt and described as having a delicious tart balance of sweet orange and guava with hints of pear and vanilla and a refreshing citrus finish. 7.5% ABV.
