A Note on This Beer

The worst part about being a craft fan? Beer envy.

It’s that feeling you get when you go online and see people from all over the country drinking and enjoying a beer you can only dream of tasting. And, few breweries bring out the jealous monster inside like Colorado’s Black Project.

Before last year, only locals and devoted fans willing to drive out to Denver could experience their sought-after Sours, leaving others to writhe with jealousy. 

Now, folks can snag beloved juicy sippers like SHADOW FACTORY: Blackberry - Raspberry around the Centennial State with a bit more ease. And we get to sneak out some small stashes for Tavour!

But, you’re dreaming if you think you’ll find this tart, jammy treat at any bottleshops in your own neighborhood. 

Black Project’s Wild Ale specialists brewed Shadow Factory with piles and piles of real blackberries and raspberries. The lightly tart base beer was made to handle heavy fruit additions, you see. Those covet-worthy loads of juicy berries lend all the mouth-puckering tartness a Sour seeker could ask for!

With strong flavors of bright, bramble berry juice and a subtle funk to round it out, this ruby red enchantress is a must-have in BP’s lineup. And, for lucky fans like @Kohleen S., it’s “A fruitsplosion + just the right amount of sourness. Could drink this again and again!”

This SHADOW FACTORY release doesn’t come around that often, so why not do yourself a favor and avoid that beer envy altogether?

Rated 4.22 on Untappd; 90/100 on BeerAdvocate

Pretty good beer if your into sours. It is the most sour beer I’ve ever had while still having a little sweetness. Like drinking a warhead

SUPER SOUR! If you have a hard time finding beers that are sour enough, you will love this one! The blackberry/raspberry flavor is delightful.

Wonderful tart beer. You need this sitting at 58 degrees or so to really unmask the complex flavours of tart cherry, some blackberry... again, I'm not a sours type, but this is the second sour from these chaps that I would buy again.

My rating is for what it is, not for what I personally think.. Because, yes, I have grown to like "sours" but most of them aren't truly sour. They are at most tart.. This one is sour! The flavors are on point. When they say sour, they mean sour. It's like drinking 16oz of that first layer of the warhead candy - just in this case, it doesn't ease up on the sourness. I like it. I just can't handle the entire can of it all at once.
