HAANDBRYGGERIET SUR MEGGE (SOUR BITCH) 500ML NORWEGIAN
8% ABV, sour ale aged in oak and blended to balance. The oak aging mellows out the tart cherry and cranberry flavor. This beer displays a rounded, candied orange and vanilla creaminess.

Fun fact about Haandbryggeriet, they feed their mash leftovers (basically just wet grains) to the local farmer’s cows!
