Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailSex Machine Sour Brown

Although fresh, characterful year-round and recurring seasonal ales generate Midnight Sun’s livelihood, the more eclectic beers create wildfire desire and sell-your-soul-to-the-devil demand from a further reaching and much geekier customer base. SEX machine Belgian Sour Brown Ale runs rampant in the latter category. Inspired by James Brown’s Sex Machine, our beer pays homage to the “do what moves you” spirit—in beer…and in life. SEX machine began as a batch of brown ale brewed in early 2011, which was transferred to oak barrels and introduced to lactobacillus, pediococcus and brettanomyces, aka The Funk. And The Funk danced its way all over this oak-barrel stage for almost two years before being blended with a fresh-faced batch of brown ale. The melding of old and young, sour and sweet, worldly and naive results in a beautiful beer blend that makes an amazing impression on your palate. We will be showcasing SEX machine on occasion up in our Loft…and at festivals and beer dinners throughout the year. Cheers!
