Serenade Tart Cherry Brown

If you’ve ever picked pie cherries off a tree and enjoyed their sweet-sour stickiness, this beer is a must-try. From the first sniff you’ll be transported back to that harvest, but on sipping the beer you’ll find a sweet balance courtesy of the malt bill. You might discern a suggestion of chocolate cordial or graham crust in those malts, as well. The combination lends a deep, rich flavor and the beer finishes with a repeat reminder of tart cherries. This beer was brewed using Serenade & Encore malts from our friends down the block at Troubadour Maltings. “If you’re thinking cherry crème filled donut, you’re going to be sadly mistaken.” — Mitzi Klukvin
