When last we brewed... we created a (by all accounts objective and subjective) delightful Gose using Lallemand's Philly Sour dry yeast. Was this early success an aberration or a portent of a new way to brew acceptable sour ales without the complexity of kettle souring and extended fermentation times? 

LB-082 is the next step on that journey. Inspired by the classic Belgian Flanders Red, we wanted a brew that hits the key notes of the style without the kettle souring, bug-based secondary fermentation, and year-long aging in French oak steps. 

We started with the basic grain and hop bill of a Flanders Red substituting Philly Sour for the brettanomyces/lactobacillus. Primary fermentation @ 72 degrees F. per Lallemand recommendations. Rack into kegs following full fermentation and a diacetyl rest. French oak spirals added to the kegs.
