Go Sour My Friend

g

give me a good sour! and im a little confused can i find them under the wild ale category?

 

Nice thanks for posting.
The article is soft but i like any media coverage of this topic

 

Definitely a little soft, but agreed media coverage is cool.

There was one line that looks like too much of a generalization thought. "Most sour beers have few or no hops."
Someone with brewing experince will probably correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there some sour styles (lambics?) that actually use quite a lot of hops - just aged?

Second paragraph under "brewing".

 

I knew watching The Beer Hunter would come in handy one day

 

I almost sent you a link to the episode, but I decided that Wikipedia was much more efficient.

 

I wonder if this will be the next IPA craze.

 

Seems like sour du jour is gose

 

I hope this demand continues. In some places (for instance, Memphis, TN), it's very hard to come across a good sour. I'd love to see more breweries crank out some good sours, key word being good.

 

Yeah, but no bitterness or flavor to speak of, so for someone who isn't actually interested in the lambic making process, you might as well just say no hops.

 

Le Terroir was a great example of a readily obtainable sour with good and noticable but not overpowering hop flavor/aroma

 

Well said.
