Kohlmeise

Описание

Kohlmeise is Wappler Brewing's first slowly fermented mixed fermentation sour beer. Our approach leans heavily on the Belgian lambic tradition. We produce a wort from malted barley, wheat and aged hops that is full of long chain carbohydrates (including starch) that ensure a long and slow fermentation. The fermentation takes place in an oak barrel that previously housed red wine. Our microbial culture consists of yeast and bacteria from Belgian lambic. The beer is allowed to slowly ferment for over a year, at which point we bottle it with a bit of sugar to ensure nice carbonation. The name Kohlmeise is German for great tit, a common woodland bird in Austria that often accompanies us while brewing.
