About this beer
This is the 44th of 91 labels we have from New Belgium Brewing. It is one of 40 wild / brett / lambic-style labels approved in November 2019. Its label was approved 19 days after it was submitted.
From the label“Exquisite Extraction is a collaboration with the award-winning producers at Videri Chocolate and Black & White Roasters in Raleigh, NC. The concept originated during a tasting event during our Into the Wild sour tour in 2019. The result is a single foeder dark sour blended with a small batch of stout, then infused with Ethiopian Yirgacheffe whole bean coffee, and Dominican Republic cocoa nibs and husks. This beer was bottled on nitro for that smooth, crema-like texture and cascading appearance. Enjoy.”
