The Capital Brewing team were feeling pretty sour about being locked down, and threw everything they had at this springtime special, a bright-pink berry sour.
"It's so sour you 'Ken Barely' believe it's a beer," said Capital head brewer Wade Hurley.
"We experimented with a new Philly Sour yeast strain, it naturally creates a lactic acid bomb that will take you right back to 1999 when you were crushing warheads at the local shops, a time when we didn't have to worry about the spicy cough."
The brew team used a small truckload of raspberries and blackberries to give this beer its huge berry aroma, unique colour and balance to the sour yeast.
"Sours have been massive back home in San Diego for the past five years or so and it is awesome to see Australian's starting to get around the style," Hurley said.
Ken Behrens raspberry and blackberry sour is available for same-day home delivery directly from the brewery through the Capital Brewing Co. online store in crowler (960ml can) mixed packs of three.
Capital successfully launched their crowler packs last week as a way for customers to get their popular taproom brews while at home.
