    Kiwi Lambic : Upland lambics are fermented by wild yeast and aged in oak casks for over a year, which creates a tart, complex beer. We then add whole kiwis, giving the beer enticing aromas and flavors. The beer is bottle conditioned, which adds a zesty and refreshing carbonation. Kiwi Lambic is the perfect drink to share with friends over a plate of good cheese and fresh fruit. 

    Permission Slip : A brand new collaboration beer with our friends at Jolly Pumpkin. Permission Slip is a unique blend of two base beers. The first beer, brewed at Jolly Pumpkin, features raw wheat and flaked oats for a soft mouthfeel, intrinsic flavors of JP's house yeast, and aromatic Mosaic and Amarillo hop additions, all aged on Indiana persimmons. The second beer is Upland Sour Reserve, refermented for 3 months on fresh Dragonfruit. Blended together these beers create a melange of peach, apricot, and tropical fruit flavors with Belgian yeast character and polite lactic and acetic acid. Please enjoy with friends over grilled pineapple and pulled pork.

    Dantalion (Secret Barrel Society Only): Dantalion is our demonically named sour ale based on the Oud Bruin beer style. Medium brown in color, Dantalion has hints of chocolate, Munich malts, and rye. We also incorporate a spice blend containing ginger, coriander, star anise, grains of paradise, and black pepper to create a gentle halo of spice character. The beer is fermented on the same selection of yeasts and microbes as our base lambic, and aged for up to 8 months or more in white oak barrels.

    Rambutan (Secret Barrel Society Only)Nephelium lappaceum, aka rambutan is native to Indonesia and Malaysia. The earliest record of rambutan trees shows that they were cultivated by the Malayan jungle tribes. Rambutan trees grow naturally throughout Southeast Asia, and are closely related to several other edible tropical fruits including the lychee, longan, and mamoncillo.

    This beer is a delicate blend of 25% Malefactor and 75% Sour Reserve aged on fresh Rambutan. Inviting tropical fruit aromas lead to tangy flavors of grape and zest. Enjoy with pistachios, grilled white fish, and friends.

    Dragonfruit: Stenocereus Hylocereus, aka pitaya or dragonfruit is a fruit bearing cactus enjoyed throughout the central regions of South America. The red-fleshed skin surrounds an inner white freckled fruit that I often likened to kiwi similarities in appearance and mild sweetness.

    This delicious brew is created by aging Sour Reserve on fresh Dragonfruit. Expect aromas of cactus flower and fresh green pepper, with flavors of lemon, tart fruit, and watermelon rind. Enjoy with jerked chicken, good company and key lime pie.

                            The good news, assuming that Whodat does this again, is that I have tried a lot of the sours mentioned and still have a bunch of sours stashed.  So, I am thinking that I would want about five of those mentioned at the most.

                            Not at it at all.

                              I haven't decided yet. I've had the opportunity try everything other than any new beers that they'll release and I still have most of the sours I picked up this year. I probably wouldn't buy as many beers next year, but it might be fun to be able to try the experimental beers. I'll probably end up joining again.
