Tripping Animals & Latvia’s Ārpus Brewing Collaborate On All Birds Go South

This morning, I have a new collaboration sour ale coming from Tripping Animals in Doral, Florida. This is All Birds Go South, and it will be brewed in collaboration with Ārpus Brewing in Latvia. The beer will be a sour ale conditioned with peach, red currant, coconut, honey, and vanilla that will fly in at 6%-AbV. Look for Tripping Animals All Birds Go South to be packaged in 16-oz cans and stay tuned for release details.

About Tripping Animals Brewing:

About Us
It was back in 2011 that the crew started brewing beer out of their garage in Caracas, Venezuela, making wild concoctions with whatever they could get their hands on and stoking the flames of their passion for craft beer. After years of traveling to breweries all around the world and experimenting with different styles of brewing, the crew took a leap of faith and moved to Miami to pursue the next chapter of their brewing careers. It was finally in 2018 that Daniel Chocron, Ignacio Montenegro, Iker Elorriaga, and Juan-Manuel Torres came across their dream location and Founded Tripping Animals Brewing Company in the heart of Doral, Florida.
