High Expectations Hazy IPA

It's a pleasure to bring you, High Expectations, a Hazy IPA from Paul Segura from Karl Strauss and myself, Troy Smith from Belching Beaver. Paul and I share a mutual appreciation of two things - brewing amazing beer and listening to epic music. We at Belching Beaver are super excited to bring you this delicious work of brewing artistry.

BATCH 6

Batch 6 might be our most unique one yet. We took multiple barrels of our base blonde sour and blended them together creating hints of stone fruit and strawberries. We then decided to age the beer on fresh Apricots and Strawberries and the results were DAM good- the complexity and nuances at this stage were so enticing we chose not to fruit this batch like we had in those preceding it, making this a stand our in the series. We hope you enjoy this beer as much as we do.

BATCH 8

Batch 8 is a blend of our barrel-aged blonde sour beer with varying types of wild yeast and lactic acid producing bacteria. Once we finalized the blend, we then aged this beer on tons of apricots, because, who does not like a stone fruit sour? We sure do and we hope you do too.

BATCH 9

Batch 9 is a blend of blonde sour beer from multiple barrels with spontaneous yeast cultures harvested from the Vista air. All were aged for two years in French Oak red wine barrels. After aging, we threw this blend on top of Balaton cherries and let it age for six months. We are in love with this beer and you can truly taste Vista in this batch.

Interdimensional Drift

Our Cellar team exhaustively combed our extensive barrel collection to find the perfect blend to highlight the dark, jammy flavors of boysenberries and black currants. The search was arduous, but we feel the final beer is full of dark fruit aromas and flavor with the signature Belching Beaver tartness to really provide a well-rounded gem of a beer. We think you’ll agree.

Ninja Orchard

How many peaches and nectarines did we use to make ninja orchard? A thousand? Ten thousand? A million? We’re not 100 percent sure. But it was a lot of the choicest flavor Crest Peaches and Rose Diamond Nectarines from our friends at Masumoto family farms. The sweet, stone fruit character from the fruit integrates well with our tart barrel-aged golden wild ale base to form a giant-robot’s worth of flavor intensity. Our team of brewing Ninjas agree that you’ll enjoy every drop of peachy goodness from this beer.

Purple Drink

Peter successfully combined raspberries, blackberries, and boysenberries into a kettle sour base to create a rich, decadent infusion of dark berry goodness. You’ll want to yell “DAM!” and smash through a brick wall after your first sip. We strongly advise against doing that however.

TOUCAN PUNCH

Toucan Punch is a blend of raspberries and cherries that were added to our base blonde sour aged in red wine barrels. Our goal is to have a nice tart, yet refreshing wild ale overflowing with bright fruit flavors with a tart edge. So follow your nose to the intensity that is Toucan Punch Wild Ale.

Ultraviolet Dreams

Our first wine hybrid is a blend of Pinot Noir grapes from Lester Vineyards and our Foeder base beer. This elegant fusion of wine and beer has a nice, bold red wine character that has a dry, tart, and funky finish. Ultraviolet Dreams encapsulate the best of both wild ale and natural wine.

HERE COMES MANGO IPA

INDIA PALE ALE

This is a delicious and fruity IPA without the punch to the face. The Amarillo and Simcoe hops complement natural mango flavor for a juicy, tropical, well-balanced beer.
