Our series of Pluot and Plum beers, because we love these magical fruits so much, they deserved their own label.
Jean
We are proud to present our first beer in the Sumomo family, made with Santa Rosa plums. We named it Jean, after our good friend Alex’s mom. All the plums in this beer were handpicked by mama Jean in summer ’24.
Santa Rosa plums are unbelievably aromatic and flavorful, they’re also known as candy plums. Larger fruit growing operations don’t grow this variety anymore in favor of bigger plums that ship better. These days Santa Rosa is grown in people’s backyards and by smaller-scale farmers who know that the flavor can’t be beat.
We took these beautiful plums and refermented them on a blend of fresh Tula Saison and Leroi, our Aged Wild Ale.We introduced Scented Geranium upon bottling to complement the bright citrus character we were getting from the plum skins.
