About this beer
This is the 31st of 60 labels we have from Breakside Brewery. It is one of 27 fruited sour labels approved in August 2019. Its label was approved 17 days after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
From the label“Strawberry Ballyhoo is a fruited sour beer that we have released in several forms since 2017. The base beers in each version have been distinct, but it is always meant as a showcase for first-of-season Oregon strawberries. The 2019 vintage is a blend of three beers: two wild beers, both fermented and aged in Pinot Noir barrels, plus a Brett saison fermented in stainless steel. These beers were all brewed between May and August of 2018, and the finished beer has Mt. Hood and Albion strawberries from the 2019 berry harvest. We hope you enjoy the interplay of fresh fruit, funky microflora, and subtle barrel character in this multilayered blend. Cheers!”
