Ken Behrens are a thirsty lot - Capital Brewing making more of the sold-out sour beer

But don't panic - more is on its way, with another 50 crowler mixed packs of three 960ml cans available from 2pm on August 26 - and it's delivered the next day.

"We sold about 110 litres of it in less than 24 hours," says Capital's Alex Brown.

"The taproom guys are scrambling as we speak to get more beer made.

"We knew it would get some take up but we were blown away by the response. Thanks Ken Behrens."

There's also a second special crowler pack deal containing the sour, a Talas IPA, and a Lager Than Life hoppy lager.

The Capital Brewing team were feeling pretty sour about being locked down, and threw everything they had at this springtime special, a bright-pink berry sour.

"It's so sour you 'Ken Barely' believe it's a beer," said Capital head brewer Wade Hurley.

"We experimented with a new Philly Sour yeast strain, it naturally creates a lactic acid bomb that will take you right back to 1999 when you were crushing warheads at the local shops, a time when we didn't have to worry about the spicy cough."

The brew team used a small truckload of raspberries and blackberries to give this beer its huge berry aroma, unique colour and balance to the sour yeast.

"Sours have been massive back home in San Diego for the past five years or so and it is awesome to see Australian's starting to get around the style," Hurley said.
