Almanac Launches Hypernova Volume One!
Prepare for hyperspace! Hypernova Volume One launches from the intergalactic depths of the Almanac Barrel House.
Hypernova Volume One is a 100% mixed-culture fermented sour alien drank aged in oak barrels with megatons of citrons, pomelos, grapefruit, cherries, black currants, vanilla beans & a touch of lactose (milk sugar). Hypernova Volume One is their first ever barrel-aged sour beer created with lactose – with the highest fruit content in a beer, yet at close to 125lbs per barrel!
“Hypernova is an experiment in the combination of aromatic citrus with the intense flavors of cherry and black currants,” according to Brewmaster, Phillip Emerson. “The experience is amplified by a creamy lactose mouthfeel with a subtle sweetness, and finishes with an olfactory overload from the addition of whole vanilla beans. It is true intergalactic decadence.”
Hypernova is now available at the Almanac Barrel House, Brewery and Taproom in Alameda with a very limited distribution in 4-packs of 16oz cans and 5.2gal draft until sold out!
Hours: Mon – Thurs, 12-9pm; Fri/Sat 12-10pm; Sun 12-6pm. 651 W. Tower Ave on Alameda Point in Alameda. 415.992.3438
