Crescent Moon announced in their newsletter today that Eric's Ale will be on tap at the Moon on Wed, Sep 22. It will be $4.50 in a New Belgium globe. I have had this beer on several occasions, and it's a fantastic sour beer. Even my wife, who doesn't like sour beers, actually fell in love with this beer when we were at New Belgium in June of this year.
I have visited Eric Salazar (the beer's namesake and brewer) on many occasions while in Fort Collins. Him and his wife (Lauren Salazar) epitomize the great people you meet in the craft beer world. I raise a glass (...of Eric's Ale on Wed) to both of them.
Description from New Belgium's web page:
Eric's Ale, named for long time New Belgium brewer Eric Salazar, combines a dry, sour beer aged up to three years in oak foeders with a semi sweet, higher alcohol base beer. The resulting blend is re-fermented with peach juice, creating a smooth ale with subtle peach tones and a warm, spicy finish. The aroma has pleasant hints of vanilla and tropical fruit, the wood characteristics are present but nicely muted. A sour beer for those who don't like sour beers. And a fruit beer for those who don't like fruit beers.
ABV 7%
IBU 16
