This morning I have your first peek at an exciting new variant coming from New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins, CO and Asheville, NC. This is La Folie Grand Reserve Fernandito and it will be a sour ale aged in Leopold Bros. Fernet barrels with single-origin Ghana cocoa husks from Nuance Chocolate in Fort Collins. The beer will hit 8%-AbV and it will be bottled on Nitro in 750ml bottles. Stay tuned for release info.
