Once Upon an Orchard: Cherries
Sour Ale Aged with Cherries
Once, a traveling group of brewers met a farmer and a cooper arguing. “Bourbon barrel-aged beer is better!” said the cooper. “Cherry-aged beer is better!” said the farmer. “What about both?” said the brewers. And so they tried it, aging a wild golden ale first in bourbon barrels, then on cherries. The result, a lightly tart beer with undertones of raspberry, cherry, strawberry, and vanilla, was so delicious that they raised a toast to friendship, and never argued again.
