4,065 Peach Sour

This Chardonnay Barrel-Aged Peach Sour from Broken Bat Brewing’s “Record Book Beer Series” honors Ty Cobb, the Georgia Peach, whose offensive output dominated baseball’s early era. The name 4,065 refers to Cobb’s historic total of Runs Scored plus Runs Batted In as it appeared in classic baseball record books. Because RBI wasn’t an official stat until 1920, many of Cobb’s early RBIs were reconstructed, and traditional record books long credited him with 4,065 — a figure that stood for generations and became deeply linked to his legend, even as later statistical updates added to his total.

While modern, fully verified scoring now places Hank Aaron (4,471), Babe Ruth (4,388), and Barry Bonds (4,223) ahead of Cobb in combined Runs + RBI, Cobb remains the namesake for this beer because 4,065 is the original, era-specific benchmark that defined offensive greatness for decades. The beer itself is a bold tribute: a wildly expressive peach kettle sour aged nearly a year in Chardonnay barrels, blending juicy fruit with wine-oak depth for a sweet-savory finish. It’s a modern spin wrapped around a classic number that still echoes through baseball history.
