A barrel aged sour aged in 500 liter puncheons on whole apricots, then re-fermented on more fruit.

Where to get it

Barrel aged specialty release. Bottles and draft at the Funkatorium and Brew Pub, and batches come and go.

Across NC.

  • At the taproom
  • Bottle shops
  • Cans to go
  • Growler fills

Cans are sold through North Carolina stores, bottle shops and bars, and the brewery's own site sells packs to go. The brewery gave up self distribution in the state around 2016 and 2017 and says it grew to more than 2,000 accounts after that. Its About page also lists later moves into Georgia, DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee but publishes no current state list, so check the Find Our Beer page. Barrel aged sours are mostly bottles and draft from the Funkatorium and Brew Pub.
