This is a barrel aged blend of sour beers of Moscatel White Port & Bordeaux barrels.

MORE INFORMATION

From the brewery Our brewery is strongly dependent on Morpheus yeast, our house yeast strain, which enables us to brew sour and non-sour beers. In 2008, our yeast whisperer Marc picked a wild yeast culture in the French Auvergne and patiently selected, isolated and cultivated the now famous Morpheus yeast to the desired standard.

Morpheus is a mixed culture of 2 yeast strains (saccharomyces cerevisae) and lactobacillus. In our Traditional Ales range, the lactobacillus is deactivated.

Morpheus yeast gives our beers the recognisable Alvinne touch. 

CHEESE & FOOD PAIRING 

Try this with Langres - the creamyness of the cheese with its boozy rind just allows both to elevate each other.
