Victory Brewing Company has announced the arrival of its beloved Sour Monkey in a new format as of Jan. 1 – just in time to celebrate the New Year. As part of the celebration, the nationally renowned brewery is also introducing an extremely limited run of its new Sour Monkey Remix.

Sour Monkey is a tasteful, tart twist on Victory’s most popular beer, Golden Monkey, and is a Belgian-style tripel that made its debut in the spring of last year and has since become equally popular and highly sought after. The sour, Brettanomyces-fermented tripel combines Tettnang and Hallertau whole flower hops, which adds a juicy character, with Pilsner malt and coriander seed, before adding the funkiness of a secondary fermentation with two strains of Brettanomyces yeast.

Sour Monkey delighted fans of Golden Monkey and sour beer lovers for the short time it was available. Because of its popularity, Victory brought Sour Monkey back in 2016, but only for a season and only in 750 ml bottles.

The new year marks the first time that Sour Monkey will be available in 12 oz. bottles. It will carry the same sour punch with an ABV of 9.5 percent to keep the party going. Available throughout Victory’s 35-state distribution footprint, Sour Monkey six-packs retail at $11.99, but will vary depending on location.

Upping the ante, beginning on Jan. 20, the Golden Monkey is taking the transformation a step further by aging Sour Monkey in oak barrels. Aromas of white oak and vanilla accompany the blonde, slightly hazy pour. Tart, lemon flavors and oak from the barrels make for a very balanced and drinkable beer with a bone-dry finish.

Sour Monkey Remix is available for an extremely limited time on tap and in 750 ml bottles for $22 exclusively at the Downingtown, Kennett Square, and Parkesburg brewpubs.
