Two weeks ago we shared info about the limited, special release of two beers from Holy Mountain Brewing. Today, we’re doing it again. This Saturday, June 27th at its taproom in Seattle, Holy Mountain Brewing releases two more beers in bottles: The Goat and Choir of the Sun. They are both saisons, but they are not at all the same. See the press release below for details about each beer, including bottle limits.
To commemorate the occasion, Holy Mountain will tap into something special this Saturday. From the Holy Mountain Table series, Blackberry Table, a Table Sour aged in oak barrels with a wild culture, then racked into an oak wine puncheon on top of blackberries and allowed to age with additional brettanomyces. Along with that, Barrel Aged River of Ash will make its debut, a dark farmhouse ale fermented in a mix of third-use bourbon and wine barrels with cherries.
Here’s the official press release:

Two special new beers will be tapped to celebrate the occasion. Blackberry Table, a Table Sour which was aged in oak barrels with a wild culture, then racked into an oak wine puncheon on top of blackberries and allowed to age with additional brettanomyces. Holy Mountain’s Table Sours are intended to be easy-drinking, moderate alcohol sours drawing inspiration from the German berlinerweisse tradition of lacto and brett fermentations. In addition to Blackberry Table, Barrel Aged River of Ash will make its debut, a dark farmhouse ale fermented in a mix of third use bourbon and wine barrels with cherries. A single bourbon barrel of the beer was transferred into a wine barrel and allowed to age 5 months with brett.
