Chicago’s Une Année is renowned for their tart, complex sippers with a 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 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 2019-8 “everything a Sour should be,” we know all you funk fiends and Sour seekers will love this one just as much — if not more!

This complex sipper is a Barrel-Aged American Wild Ale that the brewers softened with a heavenly combo of Raspberry Blossom Honey and passionfruit! 

Every effervescent gulp is packed with passionfruit’s tropical tang amid big waves of tartness and notes of orange zest. On the finish, citrusy funk plays with the smooth honey sweetness, 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!
