Sour Raz FF is the beginning of our journey into the broad universe of “sour”. We are developing a new technique to perfect a sour IPA, and Sour Raz FF is the tip of the spear that I’ve sometimes referred to as a “clean sour”. We also want to play with fruit…A LOT. We can expect all kinds of deliciously sour fruit concoctions to come.

The short answer of how we achieved the sourness is that we did a variation on kettle souring. Although this batch did not see a barrel, I envision some future batches of beer racked into barrels for unique development.
