Brado Cherry Sour if you want bright, funky tartness with fruit punch immediacy,
Petrus Aged Pale if you want a dry, complex sip that unfolds over time.
The Brado hits you right away—that cherry is up front and the wild yeast crackle is unmistakable. Petrus plays the long game: oak, age, and subtle funkiness that builds as it warms. Both are sour-adjacent but arriving from completely different angles.

Brado Cherry Sour
The Brado slaps you with tart cherry and a peppery wild yeast snap that's almost prickly on the first sip. It's brighter than you'd expect at 6%—the carbonation carries the funk, and there's this dry, slightly vinegary backbone that keeps it from ever feeling sweet. Finishes clean and a little astringent, like it's daring you to take another sip immediately.
Petrus Aged Pale
Petrus moves slower. There's oak influence, a pale straw color, and this delicate sourness that's more restraint than aggression. The age shows in how the flavors layer—initial pale malt, then a whisper of apricot stone, then a drying tannic grip that lingers. It's the kind of beer that tastes different at sip one versus sip six.
