I always love hearing when a brewing accident turns in to a great beer. Today we get some details on how Deschutes Green Monster was born out of a brewing ingredient mix-up. Details from a SaveOnBrew interview with Deschutes Jason Randles:
One of these new beers is Green Monster, an extremely limited, oak-aged sour beer that hit the shelves in September. “It was a beer that was accidentally brewed with the wrong ingredients that we decided to fill oak barrels with, rather than dump down the drain,” Randles explains. “We pitched in some Brettanomyces and tucked the barrels away in the back corner of the warehouse to see what would happen. Fortunately, the result was a fabulous sour beer. It’s always nice when accidents turn into something magical.”
