Lallemand Philly Sour

WildBrew® Philly Sour

WildBrew Philly Sour™ is a unique strain of Lachancea thermotolerans selected from nature by Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, PA. It produces moderate amounts of lactic acid in addition to ethanol in one simple fermentation step — no souring vessel or bacteria required. A great choice for innovative, sessionable sour beers with refreshing acidity and notes of stone fruit. Its resistance to hops makes it ideal for Sour IPAs.
