Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project<\/a> is excited to announce Persica Day, centered around the brewery\u2019s yearly release of Persica, their most coveted Golden Sour Ale aged with local Palisade Peaches. The brewery\u2019s first rendition of Persia was released in 2011 and continues to be released nearly every year at the Crooked Stave taproom. For 2018, Persica Day and the Stone Fruit Harvest Weekend will focus on Colorado\u2019s wonderful local peaches and various stone fruit.<\/p>\n\u201cPrimary fermented with our mixed culture of wild yeast and bacteria, Persica further ages in large oak foeders with Palisade Peaches. We are especially excited about our Harvest 2017 peaches that were used in our upcoming release since they are the exact same varieties and blend as we first used in 2011,\u201d states Chad Yakobson, Crooked Stave Owner and Brewmaster. \u201cWe are always striving to recreate that first perfect batch, and this year may just be the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Persica Day and Stone Fruit Harvest Weekend will begin on June 2nd, 2018 at the Crooked Stave tasting room on Brighton Blvd. The weekend-long festivities will be a celebration of all things stone fruit including peach, apricot, and plum taking over all 22 tap lines with delicious vintage and barrel-aged beers from the Crooked Stave Barrel Cellar.<\/p>\n

About Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project<\/p>\n
Founded in Denver, CO in late 2010 as an artisan beer project, Crooked Stave is the culmination of brewmaster and \u201cBrettanomyces Guru\u201d Chad Yakobson\u2019s open source Master\u2019s research, The Brettanomyces Project. Crooked Stave\u2019s progressive approach to brewing blends science and art through creativity and passion. The resulting creations, most of which use Brettanomyces yeasts and mature in oak, are beers of extraordinary complexity.<\/p>\n
