Braxton Brewing to Release Peach Cobbler Berliner Weisse
NEWPORT, Ky. — Dedicated to innovation, Braxton Labs is excited to release a Peach Cobbler Berliner Weisse in bottles. Brewed with peach puree, Bourbon Madagascar vanilla beans, graham cracker and cinnamon, the dessert-inspired bottles will be released on Saturday, February 17th. The 4.2% ABV beer will be available in 500ml bottles beginning at 11am.
“Here at Braxton Labs we are excited to continually brew unique and exciting takes on beer styles and the Peach Cobbler Berliner Weisse is no exception,” said Zac Boehnke, Lead Innovation Brewer at Braxton Brewing Company. “It was challenging, but rewarding, to use a different brewing process in kettle souring and natural, fresh ingredients to bring this idea to life, and I think our customers will see that we did just that when they taste the Peach Cobbler Berliner Weisse.”
This project highlights Braxton Labs’ continued innovation and experimentation. Berliner Weisse is just one of the many styles the brewery has experimented with since opening in May of 2017. Since opening, the innovation facility has released lemon meringue, pear and kiwi versions of Berliner Weisses.
This tart, dessert-style Berliner Weisse was soured in our brew kettle for 18 hours with lactobacillus. It was sterilized by boiling with minimal hop addition and then fermented dry with a clean ale yeast. Additions of lactose in the boil, plus vanilla beans, graham crackers, cinnamon and 420 lbs of peach puree come together to create a sweet and tart Berliner Weisse that smells and taste like a peach cobbler!
This fresh baked sour will be will be $7.99 for one bottle or $29.99 for four. In a very limited quantity, they’ll be released this Saturday, February 17th at 11am in Braxton Labs’ taproom.
“Our team loves the Berliner Weisse style and we’ve had a lot of fun experimenting with it,” said Evan Rouse, Chief Product Officer at Braxton Brewing Company. “This Peach Cobbler version is a perfect combination of tartness and sweetness. We can’t wait to share a slice with you!”
