Help me find my beer....

[BrewSkies]

Hey guys,

Hoping someone out there could reconnect me to the beer I'm missing. I tried it at a beer bar in Athens, GA (so it has southeastern distribution). It was a pale-type ale, except it had a strong sourness with almost a hint of apples (from the sour maybe?) Light color, clean head, served in the brewery's glassware (some kind of chalice-looking thing). I don't think it was imported.

It's been months since I tried it and I've been deployed since, and this beer is haunting me. Any ideas? Thanks!

I was hoping this was like a geocaching thing, too bad.

Perhaps it was Invocation from Wild Heaven, a very new brewery out of Decatur? http://wildheavencraftbeers.com/ They have 2 beers, which are pretty good, but not yet available in bottles.

That's not it, but those are some great looking beers. Next time I'm down in Ga I'll have to make a little road trip to investigate what all is being made down there.

It was at a beer bar near UGA, Trappeze Pub. On draft, I believe. Super sour. Didn't have the depth of a flanders red or a blended sour. It was puckeringly good. It's a shame I can't remember what, and that the bar's web site is down.

This could be difficult, since they rotate what's on tap, but I've got another 2 hours in my flight... I see that they serve Ommegang from another site. Rare Vos matches your description somewhat (not so sour), Ommegang has some chalice-esque glassware, and it is an awesome beer.

I'm probably off, but I know where I will be having a beer if I'm ever in Athens.

Well, it seems I fed yall some misinformation...I THINK it was Petrus Aged Ale. If thats the case, it was indeed imported, and actually is a blend. Thoroughly enjoyed by me, and it'll be on the top of my list when I get stateside.

Trappeze was a great place, if you ever find yourself in Athens. Kinda stumbled upon it- lots of great beers and knowledgable staff, and not a "lesser" beer in sight- shocking, considering it's locale...

Thanks fellas, I can sleep now.
