Description

Hopstock and 2 Smoking Barrels is a captivating sour/wild beer from Mike's Brewery. This light pale ale boasts a unique blend of flavors, with the addition of manuka and peat-smoked malts, creating a delightful complexity. The beer is soured using lactobacillus and pediococcus cultures, along with the wild yeasts of urenuis, resulting in a refreshingly tart profile. The beer is aged for 6 months in oak barrels, which imparts subtle oakiness, before being dry-hopped with the brewer's own freshly grown smooth cone hops. The result is a somewhat puzzling yet highly drinkable pale ale that tantalizes the senses. Whether you're a seasoned sour beer enthusiast or simply looking to explore new flavors, Hopstock and 2 Smoking Barrels is a must-try for any discerning beer lover.
