Floodgate is tart, pink and barely bitter: soured in the kettle, then loaded with raspberry and a little cranberry. It is the beer we pour for people who tell us they don't like beer.

How we brew it.
Kettle soured over two days with our own lactobacillus culture, then fermented on 90 kilos of whole raspberries from a farm outside Creston.
Why we call it Floodgate
The floodgates are still up the river at the dam. On a spring melt you can hear them from the patio.
