[Press Release:]
Tart, Raspberry Beer has been Fermenting in White Oak Barrels for 2 Years
(Allentown, PA) – Fegley’s Brew Works will release their Framboise Lambic on Friday, February 24, a unique brew that has previously won awards at the World Beer Championships and World Beer Cup. This lambic has been fermenting in French Oak barrels with raspberries for over 2 years, to develop the funky, tart, sour raspberry profile that Lambic lovers have grown to adore. This brew is in short supply: only 120 barrels and one keg will be available at each Fegley’s Brew Works’ location.
Since Fegley’s Brew Works opened their first location in Bethlehem, Pa in 1998, Lambics have been flowing out of the barrels and winning awards. Lambics are known for being produced in the Senne River Valley in Belgium, southwest of Brussels. However, some breweries, like Fegley’s, have been able to brew these tart delicacies elsewhere. Those that enjoy a tart fruity beer with a slight “wine” taste to it, will absolutely love this different kind of craft beer.
The unique part of a Lambic is that it uses wild yeast strains and spontaneous fermentation to create the perfect combination of fruit and tartness. After fermentation is completed like any other beer, fruit is added to the barrels to help kick off the fermentation process again for additional funky flavors. The alcohol content of lambics tend to be low, as well as malt and hop profiles, to allow the unique wild yeast and fruit to consume the palate.
Fegley’s Framboise Lambic will be released during the tail end of Lehigh Valley Beer Week in a small quantity. For more information on Fegley’s Lambics and awards received, please visit https://thebrewworks.com/2017/02/learn-your-lambics/.
