A Note on This Beer

Cinderlands Beer Company is a brewery that embraces its roots. Their name is an homage to the industrial history of their hometown, Pittsburgh. Locals still refer to the location of the Cinderlands Warehouse as the old Spaghetti Warehouse, a long-gone landmark. 

But, even while settled amongst all that history, Cinderlands’ brewers always have their eyes on the future. 

Just look at their latest release, Plums in Retrograde. This brew is part of a line so unique, Cinderlands had to come up with a brand new moniker: the Tartshake! 

The brewers soak ginger plum iced tea into the Sour base of this sipper. They add doses of ginger juice for zest and heaps of plum purée to give the brew a fruity richness. They gently hop this bad boy with some Loral for a subtle honey-tinge. A dash of lactose and vanilla puts the shake-like creaminess into this tart treat! 

One taste of this brew is like biting into a scoop of plum and ginger sorbet — sweet, tangy, zingy, and so refreshing. 

No matter how delicious their creations are, the brewers at Cinderlands are always moving forward. So, it’s best to grab a few cans of Plums in Retrograde before they become another old landmark in Pittsburgh history!

USA Today named Cinderlands one of the Top 10 Best New Breweries in the Country in 2019! 

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Has almost a wine taste to it but you can tell it’s a beer though. I would recommend to try at least one if you’re into that kind of taste. Not as sour as you’d think.

Oof! The ginger was so strong and over powering for me. Perhaps I didn’t read the description well enough

Very good. Satisfying mix of sour and sweet, with a nice spice coming in at the end.

I was so hopeful for this one but maybe it reminded me too much of the prune juice at the hospital

I can see people either liking or hating this. Almost has a Kombucha like feel to it. I happen to love kombucha and ginger so this is right up my alley.

I’d call it closer to a 3.9. Funky and very much a ginger vanilla beer with plum color. Funky, sweet, tart. My wife hated it.

Loved the color and aroma but way too much ginger taste that overpowered the plum. Name was misleading as plum seemed an afterthought
