Grato — Lambic Style Ale with Italian Plums

Wine Barrel Aged w/ Fruit • Stone Fruit • Tart • Earthy • 8.5% abv

This fruit-forward and lightly tart wine barrel-aged ale is our Texas tribute to a traditional style, with the terroir of freshly-dumped local wine barrels and local grain.

Ripe plum on the nose with pleasingly tart dried fruit flavors. Medium bodied and earthy with a dry finish.

We began with 100% grown and malted Texas grain, Vista well water and house-aged hops. The beer fermented with a blend of yeast and bacteria, plus a heavy dose of Italian plums for over 12 months in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels from William Chris Vineyards.

Named for the Italian word “grato”, literally translated to “grateful” or “thankful” to remind us all to live with gratitude.

Grato beer pairs well with savory or sweet — try pork belly or a custard dessert.
