The Tart Tundra

WINTER KNIGHT

As the blizzard rages on, There is one brave warrior keeping a watchful eye over the snow covered lands. Introducing the protector of the realm ( Winter Knight ) our Chocolate Raspberry Vanilla Sour Stout. We kettle soured a rich 6.5% stout and infused it with organic cocoa powder and Dark Belgian Candi Sugar in the boil. We then added raspberry puree and vanilla after primary fermentation. Defend the frozen North and join the violet owl's sour crusade!

Sour Stouts are the hardest beer style you could brew. I have been trying since 2016 during my homebrew days. This is the first time combining Raspberry, Chocolate and Vanilla in a sour stout base. Winter Knight will lead the way as our first Sour Stout we make at SNS. I was inspired by an image in my mind of a purple owl covered in silver frost bitten armor. Very specific but I believe things come to us in life for a reason and most of my sours are inspired by life moments.

Our epic label artist Jason Burke has done an incredible job with this label like all labels he has done for us. Wanted to give him a shout out and say thanks!!

OCTO MAMMOTH

I've been thinking of doing a bigger version of Octophant. We want to make this frozen update for the season more sour, more hoppy with a higher ABV.

We plan to make this a Collab with Mass Whole Hops Extraction so we can add concentrated Co2 hop extract right into this double version. We will run both Sabro and Mosaic Hops to create this Octo Mammoth finite blend.

We plan to have the label be similar to our main Octophant layout but it will be a woolly mammoth Octophant covered in icicles. The fish thats on our OG Octo label will be either frozen in a block of ice or a Caveman.
