The beer

Record

Ruby is Woodland Farms’ nonalcoholic sour, sold as a 4-pack at $12.99. The page says it was built on Ruby Slippers and tweaked to go nonalcoholic, under 0.5% ABV at 90 calories. The can reads the same alcohol line. A January 2022 Press Herald piece names Ruby in the range Patrick Rowan makes with a special mash, a specialty yeast, and pasteurization. That July he described a maltose-negative yeast and a special mash, and said they do not cook the beer. No removal machine is named. A score waits on a pour.
