Mango Pineapple Gose
La Cumbre Brewing Co.

Believe it or not, brewers drink wine too. Well, this time of year, our master brewer, when not found with a pilsner or a hefe in his hands can often be found with one of his favorite Albariños. The briney quality of the Spanish wines of Rias Baixas is just so darn refreshing. The beers of Leipzig are brewed with a similar level of acidity and the salt added gives the otherwise bone-dry beer a fuller mouthfeel while adding that briney quality that is so quenching. We brewed such a beer and added Mango and Pineapple to it and the result is as unique as any beer any of us have brewed or tried. Tart, not sour really but certainly lactic, just enough salt to let you know it’s there, and a lovely underlying aroma of pineapple and mango.
