Gathering Red Currants & Peaches (2024)
blended barrel-aged golden sour with red currants and peaches
GATHERING RED CURRANTS AND PEACHES pours a beautiful orange hue and the aromas wafting from the glass convey the bounty of the summer just behind us: juicy peach nectar, redcurrant tartness, and spicy, leathery brettanomyces phenolics. A previous vintage of Red Currants and Peaches netted us a GABF medal, and this new vintage is even more complex and vivid. For Gathering we allow ourselves to use any type of barrel aged beer in the blend, and our team put together an exceptionally graceful combination of spontaneous ale and aged saison. As always with Gathering beers, we used whole, locally-grown fruit: Red currants from Ray Tousey in Clermont, NY and peaches from Wright’s Farm in Gardiner, NY. We’ve sourced Tousey’s red currants for 4-5 years now and they always bring extraordinary flavor!
