FUNK YEAH SANTA ROSA PLUM if you want a gueuze with actual fruit presence and body,
Jacobins Gueuze if you want pure, funky tradition.
The Beachwood is a West Coast take on the style—plum brings weight and a soft stone-fruit sweetness that's more approachable. Jacobins stays classical: bone-dry, vinegary, all funky Brett character with zero compromise. Same IBU floor, wildly different experiences.

FUNK YEAH SANTA ROSA PLUM
The plum hits immediately—not artificial, but a genuine dried-fruit depth that makes this feel less sour-forward than most gueuzes. There's a soft, almost pillowy mouthfeel underneath the funk. Beachwood didn't make a fruit beer here; they made a gueuze that happens to have plum as a structural ingredient. The finish stays tart but never aggressive.
Jacobins Gueuze
This is gueuze doing what it's done in Belgium for centuries: funky, vinegary, austere. Jacobins doesn't soften anything. You get Brett immediately, a dry crackle, and that classic horse-blanket-and-leather backbone. It's sour but not sour *at* you—more philosophical. The 5.4% ABV disappears behind the funkiness.
