Bracket Brewing Paperbark

Bracket Brewing - Paperbark BA Golden Sour Price: $34 Paperbark is our first release in the area of mixed fermentation barrel aged sours and we’re incredibly proud to finally be able to share it with you.⁠ This beer was a long time in the making with its primary fermentation in stainless, secondary fermentation over 21 months in a single french oak barrel, followed by more time in stainless then a lengthy 8 month long bottle conditioning.⁠ As with any barrel aged beer, the process cannot be forced and the beer is ready when it's ready. The result is a complex golden sour with soft acidity and a delicate blend of funky character.⁠ Paperbark also has a very personal component to it. The artwork on the bottle was painted by Mike’s mother, Katrina, inspired by the view from her balcony in Scotts Head, NSW. In September 2021 Katrina was diagnosed with Glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive form of brain cancer. ⁠
