Breakside Brewery, known for its innovative, experimental and diverse beers, has released it's summer seasonal, Passionfruit Sour Ale. All the things a summer beer should be, this brew has a few twists that are uniquely Breakside. Passionfruit Sour is brewed in the tradition of a classic German Berliner Weisse with a tropical twist of passionfruit added in the lagering tanks. This has been a fan favorite since inception a few years ago!
Ben Edmunds, brewmaster for Breakside, said, “I find that it is sometimes more difficult to pair beers with light and bright summery dishes than with the heartier dishes that we might eat in the fall or winter. A light, sour beer like Passionfruit Sour is clutch in this sort of scenario, since the acidity, the fruit, and the low alcohol all can complement lighter dishes that showcase summer vegetables and other foods.”
He added that acid-forward beers like Passionfruit Sour also offer a great companion to meats straight off the grill. The acidity is high enough that it can cleanse the palate while eating “backyard barbecue” meats (burgers, brats, ribs).
Passionfruit Sour Ale is light in body, extremely refreshing and mouth-puckeringly tart, with an inviting stonefruit aroma. ABV: 5%. / IBU: 3. / Available June – September 2019 in bottles and on draft wherever Breakside beers are sold.
