Four brand new, sure to be delicious brews will make their debut at Strangeways Brewing this evening, and you’re not gonna want to miss out on this one.

Starting at 4 PM sharp at their brewery at 2277A Dabney Rd, RVA will meet the Funky Wyld Sisters, (Wild Ales on Brett, 9% ABV, 30 IBU): Olivia (Blackberry), Portia (Raspberry), and Beatrice (Mixed Berry).

“Each of these beers are blends from a variety of long barrel aging projects,” wrote Strangeways about tonight’s featured brews. “Plan to take them home, whilst you enjoy sipping on the newly released That’s My Jam! (Berry Lactobacillus Sour, 4.6% ABV, 15 IBU) on draft.”

Additional details via the event page:

BEER DETAILS:
1./2./3. Wyld Sisters:
This trio of Wyld Sisters are unique blends of various beer batches, each of which underwent a variety of maturation periods in oak barrels. These wooden vessels provide the perfect habitat for Brettanomyces, whose servitude artistically brings the funk. Different berry varietals were incorporated during the lengthy process to add unique fruit flavors. Cousins to last year’s Wyrd Sisters, Wyld Sisters illustrates our first blending experiment.

4. That’s My Jam! Berry Sour:
Lactobacillus brings on the pucker in our newest sour selection, That’s My Jam! It will tantalize your tastebuds with its unforgiving tartness, while a pronounced berry flavor rounds out this distinctly mouth-puckering experience.
