Strawberry Shorty!!!
Strawberry Shorty is a tart wheat ale (aka session sour) utilizing certified organic strawberries grown by Rodriguez Brothers Ranch in Watsonville. This is second use fruit, meaning we initially aged Strawberry Oblivion, our barrel aged strawberry sour, on the fruit to extract most of the flavor. Immediately after removing the beer from the fruit we brewed a simple Belgian wheat beer on top of the strawberries, yeast and bacteria. After a long fermentation of about 12 weeks we packaged Strawberry Shorty into bottles and conditioned them for 3 months resulting in a smooth and tart, light strawberry beer.
