898

898 is a barrel aged Sour Ale with raspberry and Michigan Star Thistle Honey.

898 is a barrel aged Sour Ale with raspberry and Michigan Star Thistle Honey. Slightly hazy with a romantic pink hue, there are huge aromas of tart raspberry and floral honey. Leading with mouth puckering sourness and ripe raspberry flavors, the floral sweet honey quickly complements it. Tart, sweet, and finishing slightly dry, 898 was brewed in celebration of Al and Jessica’s 10th anniversary.

Origin Story

The idea for this beer was from Al Russel. He was looking for a beer for his Anniversary and had a idea to originally make a farmhouse style ale and add raspberry and back sweeten with honey...I guess the back sweetening part is something they would occasionally do at Cascade Brewing Compnay and just keep it cold and in house and serve right away...which is what we are going to do! It just so happened that we had some barrels with a sour golden ale that has been sitting on second use raspberries from Terr Bear for almost 2 years and was tasting quite delicious. So we choose those barrels and then added a little more raspberry and the honey and sorbates. The name 898 refers to their wedding date which was 8/9/2008.
