What’s a sour beer?
Most breweries must keep a very sterile environment to prevent wild yeast strains from entering their beer. Sour-beer brewers, on the other hand, allow these wild yeast strains to enter the beer, creating the tart taste. Some brewers add fruit, such as cherries or raspberries, while the beer ages.
If you haven’t tried a sour beer, give one a shot! If you’re looking for variety, the Sour Power six-pack ($19.99+CRV) offers three different styles. If you’d like to try just one, the Strubbe’s Flemish Red ($4.49) is a great introductory sour ale.
