Two Rivers Brewing’s Josh Bushey and Weyerbacher’s Chris Wilson describe their first collaboration brew as a young bruin. They “quick” soured it with Lacto and cheated some of the long aging stuff with oak spirals and lots of fruit.

In 1995, Weyerbacher Brewing began brewing beer on Sixth Street in Easton, Pennsylvania. Twenty years later, Two Rivers Brewing Company began brewing two doors down from the original Weyerbacher Brewery. It is in honor of the street where it all started for both breweries that they named the first collaboration between Two Rivers Brewing’s Josh Bushey and Weyerbacher’s Chris Wilson. They describe this beer as a young bruin. They “quick” soured it with Lacto and cheated some of the long aging stuff with oak spirals and lots of fruit. “It came out pretty nice if I might say so myself,” says Two River’s Josh Bushey.
