Wicked Weed Brewing is set to pre-sell and release the third offering in the Angel Series, called White Angel, beginning Saturday, June 27th at 12 p.m. via Brown Paper Tickets. White Angel is a Barrel-Aged American Sour, rested on a total of two and a half tons of locally harvested Muscadine and Scuppernog grapes.
Head Blender and Owner Walt Dickinson says, “White Angel is extremely dry and probably the driest sour beer we’ve ever produced. Assertively sour and tart with a juicy grape character this beer is a step in a different direction for this series, and it’s really exciting for us to see where this beer can go.”
The on-site bottle release and sale is currently scheduled for Sunday, July 19th at 12 p.m. at Wicked Weed’s offshoot bar, the Funkatorium.
