Chicago’s Une Année is renowned for their tart, complex sippers and hyper focus on funky, barrel-aged brews. So much so that Forbes calls them one of the Best Breweries in Illinois.

And, with all the different Le Grand Monde special releases we’ve scored over the years, those of you lucky enough to get your own bottles crowned them with an average 4.49 Tavour rating!

Considering UT fans are calling Le Grand Monde 2019-12 “perfection,” we know all you funk fiends and Sour seekers will love this one just as much, if not more!

This complex sipper is a Blonde American Wild Ale that the brewers barrel-aged for 3 years. Every effervescent gulp is packed with puckering, lemony tartness and a wallop of doughy funk. The acidity mingles nicely with strong oaky notes from the barrel, enticing you back for sip after sip.

But, Une Année only drops a new release of Le Grand Monde a few times a year, and no two batches are ever the same. So, most Sour fans in the country never even get the chance to witness their beauty!

Except for a small few of you lucky Tavourians, of course.
