About this beer

Upper Hand Brewery’s Pricker Bush is a tart ale presenting at 8.2% ABV. This sour ale with real blueberries, blackberries, currants and elderberries is oak-aged with native wildberry sour mash. The label artwork depicts a stylized, repeating sprig of prickly bush, set against a vibrant, painterly background of dark purples and reds that evoke the berries used in the brewing process. The can prominently features the brewery’s logo—a hand holding a wheat stalk—repeated down the sides.

Pricker Bush is described on the label as having notes of elderberries, currants, blackberries and blueberries. It is brewed by a division of Upper Hand Brewery, Inc., and carries a government warning regarding responsible alcohol consumption. The can states the beer is oak-aged with native wildberry sour mash, suggesting a complex fermentation process contributing to the tartness and fruity character.
