Sour barrels traded to create "Funk Vessel" ale CINCINNATI -- Rivertown Brewing Co. announced a funky new collaboration with New Holland Brewing Co. on Thursday.
The new beer -- an American Wild/Sour Ale -- is called Funk Vessel and will be sold in 22 ounce bottles. It was made with Cascade and Bravo hops and will be 18 IBUs.
Both breweries used the same recipe, (in both Lockland, Ohio, and Holland, Mich.,) and each brewery swapped sour barrels.
New Holland used Rivertowns 2011 Geuze barrels and Rivertown used New Hollands 2012 Blue Sunday barrels.
The brewers described the product as a one of kind out of this world, mouth puckering experience.
The Rivertown version will launch Jan. 20 and will be available in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee and Florida. New Hollands version will launch in February.
Rivertowns brewers also had an update on their upcoming Geuze release. The 2012 Ville De Rivere Geuze will also be released on Jan.
