Blended Danish Wild Ale with Red Vineyard Peaches
Blend #2
Aged for 12-24 months!
Ruud Peesch is a blend of 1- and 2-year-old Danish Wild Ales with fresh red vineyard peaches. Hailing from the Mosel Region of Germany, the term “Ruud Peesch” is a local slang term used to refer to these strange and unique red peaches. Almost tropical in flavor, this varietal of peach is commonly used in jams and brandy production, but we found that the acidity of the fruit and the tannins from the skin make an excellent partner for beer.⠀

Ruud Peesch Blend 2 was packaged in green 75 cL bottles in November 2019.
Brewed at Baghaven Barrel-room by Mikkeller Baghaven
Sour Ales & Lasagna
As the name suggests sour ales are sour. They show notes of funk, high acidity, some minerality and low bitterness. They are a great choice for heavier pasta dishes such as Lasagna. The acidity cuts easily through the fattiness of the béchamel sauce and the woody character of the beer works well with the slightly burned and crispy top layer.
Sour Ale
Sour ale is a catch-all term for any golden to amber colored beer where the implementation of a microorganism other than traditional brewer’s yeasts ensures a drier, thinner, sour and/or funkier product. Such microorganisms includes Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces. Essentially, its lambic, brewed outside of Belgium.
Yet another game-changer in the history of Mikkeller, the opening of Baghaven marked the moment when – finally – spontaneously fermented sour beer was made using local terroir. Importing skilled American brewer Ehren Schmidt to head up operations at Baghaven helped establish the foundation for a location that would fuse tradition with cutting-edge innovation.
Baghaven is home to twelve large oak foeders, ranging in size from 3000 to 7000 liters, and over fifty 225-liter California Chardonnay barrels. These oak vessels house beers where wild yeast and bacteria transform the liquid inside into products with incredible depth and complexity. In addition to barrel-aging, the in-house microbiology lab allows us to maintain our yeast and bacteria cultures and also isolate new strains from the air, fruit skins, and various other sources.
