SOURSBORO
Origins
Our innovative Soursboro Beer is crafted with the novel Philly Sour yeast, represents a bold innovation in craft brewing. This unique yeast produces lactic acid, giving the beer its distinctive sour flavor profile directly during fermentation.
After the foundational sour and tart characteristics are established, we invite you to make the beer uniquely yours. Whether you desire the sharp zest of citrus, the sweet burst of berry, or the exotic touch of mango, tailor Sourboro to your liking. At Swedesboro Brewing Company, we're not just brewing beer; we're crafting your new sour beer experience, tailored by you.
Our Soursboro Series includes sour beers that have been deliberately brewed to achieve high levels of acidity. This elevated acidity delivers a predominantly sour flavor that compliments many fruit flavors such as Cherry, Plumb, Peach, Mango, Watermelon, Apple, and many other fruit flavors often seen in candies and fruit drinks. To make our sours we use a specialty yeast called Philly Sour. This yeast is derived from a recently discovered species of wild yeast isolated off of a dogwood tree in The Woodlands Park graveyard by the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia.
