Cherry Cobbler Berliner

Brimming with tart cherries, sweet cherries, and creamy vanilla, Cherry Cobbler Berliner is the perfect pairing for your holiday feast. This pastry-style kettle sour starts similar to our other Berliner Weisse beers, soured with lactobacillus bacteria in the kettle, then fermented clean. We added lactose to enhance the creaminess and boost the body, then we fermented the beer on an absurd amount of both tart pie cherries and sweet black cherries. Finally, we added vanilla beans to contribute even more creaminess and complexity and to bring out more of the “cobbler” character. The sweet creaminess of the lactose and vanilla are a perfect complement to the acidity of the base beer and the cherries, making this an essential “side dish” for any holiday gathering.
