Creature Comforts River Ridge Red

River Ridge Red is an ale (6.6%) aged in oak barrels with organic red raspberries from Independence, VA's River Ridge Organics. This beer is a celebration of the crop from their farm. Brewmaster selected the best blend of barrels to honor the complex flavor of the red raspberries featured in the beer. Once they blended beer onto the fresh raspberries, they performed punchdowns for two weeks, and then continued to macerate on the fruit for more than 6 months. The extended time allows the acids from the fruit to round out and mellow, leaving a soft and honest red raspberry flavor.
