Lost Abbey Releasing Veritas 018

San Marcos, CA –The Lost Abbey is set to release the 18^thedition in its Veritas line of beers, with the on-sale beginning on Thursday, October 27th at Noon (PST).

Veritas has been an ongoing experiment of the relationship between fruit, Brettanomyces and barrel aging.

Veritas 018 will be a redux of Veritas 015, which took home gold medals from the 2015 Great American Beer Festival (Wood and Barrel Aged Beer), The 2015 Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer (FOBAB – Wild Beers w/ Fruit), and The 2015 San Diego International Beer Festival (other sour beer category).

Veritas 018 was aged in oak with Peaches and Nectarines from Masumoto Farms as well as added Apricots. Delicate notes of apricots and peaches, oaky wood, and a balanced tartness come through with a lively character from the Brett present throughout the experience.

Selling Veritas 018 online will also come with a few restrictions. Whomever purchases Veritas 018, must also be the individual to pick up the bottles… NO EXCEPTIONS. Removing the option of proxies will help get the beer to as many people as possible and will allow a smoother pickup process.

A valid ID will be required to pick up the purchased bottles, as each transaction will be tied to the purchasers name.
