Hybrids are common in the world of viticulture, as growers attempt to produce the best and most tolerant grape. Hermann Muller, of Thurgau Switzerland did just than in 1882 as he crossed Reisling with Madeleine Royale to create the Muller-Thurgau grape. Now, a new hybrid has formed at Oakshire as our Brewmaster work with Anne Amie Vineyards to create this beer/wine hybrid. We used Anne Amie's classic Muller Thurgau grapes and artfully blended it with a Belgian Golden Ale and matured it with Brettanomyces in Anne Amie's Pinot Noir barrels for a year. Hermanne is light and crisp, with a complex fruity middle and dry tannic finish.
