Creature Comforts Yonah Skins

Yonah Skins is a skin-contact lager made with local grape skins (6.5%) from Yonah Mountain Vineyards. This beer really comes to life during its cold maceration, a unique process the brewmaster use. After stainless fermentation, the beer is racked into oak barrels with pressed grape skins and aged at 38F for six months. The extended cold maceration allows to get maximum contact time with the skins to pull out as much flavor and color as possible but minimizing the tannin extraction.
