Engine House No. 9 is partnering with over a dozen fantastic breweries to bring you nearly 20 sour ales, from fruited lambics to barrel-aged goses. There are so many unique quality beers to try at the firehouse, but they’re available for one day only. 

What’s so special about sour ales, you ask? The term “sour” doesn’t necessarily refer to the flavor of the beer; rather, it reflects the brewing process. Like sourdough bread or kombucha, sour ales are brewed with wild bacteria and yeast, which leads to an array of flavors and aromas not found in traditional ales or lagers. 

Sour Fest guest breweries are truly exceptional at what they do. This year’s selection of sour beers are all one-of-a-kind, with complex flavor profiles that you’ll love.

Check out the list of fantastic beers that we’ll have on tap at the firehouse - and let us know which ones you’re excited to try!

Join us on November 6th for an evening of delicious eats from Engine House No. 9's head chef, Wylie Ballinger, and one of our favorite breweries, pFriem! pFriem swept GABF this year, taking home 3 medals and the prestigious title of Best Mid-Size Brewing Company of the Year. We have collaborated with pFriem to bring you a perfectly paired dinner menu, including dry-aged roasted duck breast, short rib carbonnade, and some delicious Vintage pFriem bottles. Blake from pFriem and Wylie from Engine House No.9 will guide you through the meal and beers and discuss the flavor profiles of each paired plate.

Rhubarb Wild Ale (6.0%) Barrel fermented mix culture wild ale blend of 3, 2, and 1 year old barrels, put on locally sourced hot-house grown rhubarb stalks.
