Introducing the Salt and Wood Baby Grand, a captivating Sour Flemish Ale from the talented brewers at North End Brewing. This Flanders Red/Oud Bruin-style ale is a true delight for the senses, boasting a complex and intriguing flavor profile. Crafted with a blend of rich European red malts, a touch of corn, and a hint of oats, this beer was then hopped with the aromatic Waimea variety. The result is a harmonious balance of malt and hop character that sets the stage for the real magic to happen. After the initial fermentation with North End's clean American ale yeast, the beer was transferred to former Bordeaux blend red wine barrels, where it underwent a remarkable transformation. The aging process has imbued the Baby Grand with a delightful array of barrel-derived flavors, including vibrant fruit notes and a subtle oak presence. At 6.0% ABV, this sour ale is the perfect companion for those seeking a unique and sophisticated drinking experience. Whether you're a seasoned sour enthusiast or simply looking to explore new and exciting beer styles, the Salt and Wood Baby Grand is sure to captivate your palate.
