The Experience, Alameda: Almanac Beer Co. Collaboration

The Experience:

Uva Bruja Debut!

This mystical bright red brew was summoned forth in collaboration with the sorcerers at Casa Bruja Brewing in Panama City, Panama. Uva Bruja (“grape witch” in Spanish) was created by aging Cabernet Sauvignon grape juice in oak barrels for over six months. This unique brew was finished with a dash of coriander and pink Himalayan salt, imparting that classic gose-style brininess.

What is a gose-style beer? It’s a combination of two components – it must be tart, tasting fermented, and it must be salty – a hint of briny. If you have ever had a sour unfiltered beer, you have an idea of the taste. The pronunciation: “Goes-uh”.

With Uva Bruja you’ll enjoy notes of tart vinous grape and soft tannins in each ritual sip, and be sure to pair it with full moons, black ravens, and your favorite coven.

Uva Bruja is available now at Almanac’s taproom and in the online store.

Almanac’s Barrel House, Taproom and Brewery are open 7 days a week: M-Th 12-9pm; F/Sa 12-10pm; Su 12-8pm.Food trucks daily. (415) 992-3438
