By Chilled Magazine

Delaware’s 25-year-old Dogfish Head Craft Brewery joins forces with Belgium’s 200-year-old Brouwerij RODENBACH to release Vibrant P’Ocean—4.7% ABV blended sour ale.

A beer for the history books, Vibrant P’Ocean is RODENBACH’s first-ever collaborative brew.

Vibrant P’Ocean is a complex, ruby-colored beer with tart, dry flavors of jammy berries and floral lemon. To create this trans-oceanic potion, the breweries carefully combined two unique base beers—one developed by RODENBACH and the other by Dogfish Head.
