Sour Ale with Black Currants – Portland, OR
A rare gem from the now-closed Commons Brewery, this 2014 Biere Royale captures the spirit of their seasonal experimentation and Belgian-inspired finesse. Brewed with black currants and aged to deepen its tart complexity, this bottle is a snapshot of Portland’s golden era of farmhouse ales.
