Headlands Lightship Sour Solera

SF Beer Week marks the annual release of Lightship Sour Solera. Starting as Pt. Bonita Pilsner, this beer is aged in cabernet barrels and is inoculated with a blend of souring yeasts and bugs. This solera style has roots to very first batch of pilsner as each year brewery leaves a few gallons behind in the barrels to kick off the next year’s batch. Each year is unique as different wild yeasts and bugs vie in the barrel to come out.
