I first encountered the idea of puting wine in beer when Andrew Kooy tried it in his abmonination, "Rasputin's Tasty Bastard." since then I have been seeing more and more of this idea. Today I was reading through some older posts and noted that Joseph Lemnah had done something similar. Mark Dredge from "Pencil and Spoon" also wrote about a beer brewed with merlot grapes from Cantillon Brewery called Saint Lamvinus. It is aged in Bourdeaux barrels for six months!
This is an intriguing idea... I wonder how long it has been around??? I am sure I am only now noticing it, but cheers anyway to Category 23 Brewery for introducing me!
Pour one for me,
