For this week s beer blog I opened up a bottle from Fort George Brewery. They collaborated with Koala San Brew out of Brazil. I ve never had a Brazillian beer before, so I was excited to try this. Positive Contact is dry hopped barrel aged Brett beer. Brett beer is made using a specific yeast, Brettanomyces. Beers made with this yeast tend to be funky. The Positive Contact is just that. Funky, tart, fruity and yet still has hop essence. There is a lot going on with this beer and it s complex and delicious. I ve had many of Fort George s beer, and I hope you ve been trying them too. They re fantastic, and in many cases adventurous. Maybe one day I ll make it to Brazil and I ll check out Koala San Brew. Felicidades!
