Nancy

Tart Ale Fermented with Maine Cherries and Brettanomyces

Nancy is a tart ale that brings local cherries together with Brettanomyces yeast. The beer is brewed onto a blend of Maine-grown Balaton and Montmorency cherries. It ferments for over a year in a stainless steel tank with the cherries and Brettanomyces. Copper in color, Nancy features a medley of citrus, cherry, and pie spice notes, with a hint of graham cracker. The finish is dry and refreshingly tart.

You’ll find sourness in beer from souring bacteria, from fresh fruit, and sometimes from wild microflora floating in the Maine air.
