Columbia Cherry Sling: Dipping into the cocktail world, we bring you this take on the Singapore Sling. Originally made at the exclusive Raffles Hotel in Singapore, this cocktail inspired beer. Pouring a deep ruby to crimson colored red, your nose will be awakened by a cherry Luden-like aroma intermingled with some herbaceous notes akin to juniper and anise. After primary fermentation, the beer was transferred onto 300 pounds of stemmed Lapin cherries from Hood River, and lactic acid-producing bacteria was introduced. Aged for six months in Hood River Distillers gin barrels brought to life the spicy, herbal components to counterbalance the sweet flavor of the cherries from our friends at Piatt Family Farm.
