A Note on This Beer

Today you have VIP access to Firestone Walker’s cellar! 

It’s a chance to taste their GABF award-winning skills, their proprietary funky, Bretty, house mixed culture, and the complexity of a white grape fermented Wild Ale aged in 100% French Oak Barrels. 

Bretta Blanc 2019 Vintage is an elegant find. The brewery only made 1,800 cases, and a year later there are only a fraction left in existence! 

Here’s how this delicate gem came to be, winning over the palates of UT drinkers who grace it with a 4.14 rating:

  • The brewery showcases Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc grapes grown over three seasons on their own vineyard. 
  • Firestone Walker ages the beer-wine hybrid for 12-36 months of maturity in a blend of barrels to evoke tannins and woody spice.
  • They use Brett throughout the brewing process. From fermenting with it in stainless steel for a month, to moving into barrels with their "house culture" to develop funk that accentuates the honeydew melon, passionfruit, oak, and floral notes.
  • The brewers then bottle-condition the beer for over two months to create its champagne-like carbonation. 


The result is a bold, 8.9% ABV, barrel-aged Wild Ale with leagues of depth — far more complex than a typical Sour. Looking to elevate your palate? A taste of Bretta Blanc feels like stepping into a prized barrel room.

Great intro for folks who are not into beer and need something that doesn't over power you with hops or your typical beer flavor.

Another one that I bought that did not show up in my box. Again, this one was pricey, so super unhappy.

Tart and very good! I love the presentation of the bottle and the way the beer looks inside of the glass. Taste was decent and it has the traditional funk of an american wild ale with the alcoholic punch of 8.9% to be a standalone beer.

Tart and sour. Kind of like wine. Not as good as bramble berry or tangerine

I enjoyed the sour. It wasn’t overpowering. The 8.9 is something to watch out for!

Beer quality suffered due to supply chain delays en route to me. Tavour has not tried to rectify the situation. I have $100 worth of low quality beer due to the shipment being stored in an uncontrolled environment.
