The first is Muscat d'Amour, in which 150 gallons of Muscat Blanc grape must provide 25 percent of the beer's fermentables. The 10.78% ABV beer has been aged for fourteen months in Chardonnay barrels and with brettanomyces yeast. The second is Récolte Sauvage, which used 150 gallons of actual cabernet sauvignon grapes from Colorado's BookCliff Vineyards fermented with naturally occurring wild yeasts from the harvested grape skins. This one was aged fourteen months in cabernet sauvignon barrels and stands at 11% ABV. The two beers will be released on Saturday at the brewery's taproom beginning at 5 p.m.; fans are limited to six bottles each. A few bottles of the Muscat (roughly 180 cases were produced) and the Sauvage (120 cases) might end up on liquor store shelves as well. Both will run $8 for a single twelve-ounce bottle. | ||
