Sour cranberry, sparkling and bright: Cran-bic is blended the way lambic brewers work, from wild sours aged up to two years on oak. Indigenous yeast and cranberries from the 'wilds' of Wisconsin pair up on the palate, and it is meant to be served cold in a fluted glass. 6% ABV, from the Thumbprint series.
