New Glarus Wild Sour Ale

Berliner Weisse is a sour, it is fermented with Lactobacillus to give it the tart flavor. There are no grapes in a traditional Berliner Weisse; but it wouldn't be a bad idea...

 

This is the fastest I ever seen it sell around here, I got lucky and a gas station had 8 left, didn't want to get greedy so only bought 4 of them.

 

I love sour beers even though I was not a fan of these in the past. We went to the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, CO and they had some awesome sour beers. I'm officially a fan. I can't say that I would grab a six-pack if I had a chance, but if you are doing a brewery tour and you get a chance to try one give it a go! The beer glasses also make a huge difference

 

For what it is, spotted cow is a good beer. I often gladly purchase 12 packs of this to bring along to help my friends and family try new beers. That is, after all what advocacy is all about, right? I definitely enjoyed a spotted cow before a moon man, before an iipa, before sours. Etc.

 

Spotted Cow was the first time I drank a beer and thought "Wait not all beer tastes like corn and pee stuck in a bottle!"

 

I gave it a shot, but I guess I just hate sour beers.

 

At least some of your favorite beers are hitting shelves now. Oktoberfest!

 

anyone know if this is still around at the kenosha woodmans? was hoping to drive up on sunday morning.

 

This beer is delicious, but does have a touch of butter in the finish.

 

Wow this beer is Beautiful to drink in the sun!

 

True dat!

Plus, they still had a few packs of the IIPA on the shelves, so I have 4 of those to test and see how they hold up over time!!

I don't really like much of sour anything aside from sourdough bread so I was not surprised that I did not like it. I know it's an acquired taste and all but I think I am just not a sour guy. I did find the Berliner Wiess OK however.

Doing the BA thing and giving the other 3 bottles away to interested people to give a try who have not had sours.

Any leaks on what the next Thumbprint will be? Man, I would love to see Bohmien Lager brewed again!

 

Imperial Weizen is the next TP.

 

I didn't see any there on Monday, but I didn't ask if they had any in the back or were planning on getting more.

 

YES.

 

My FIB mother was up nort the other day (who am I kidding, she was on a beer run for me) and she said they were all out last night.

 

I'll save you the experimentation and the loss of a four pack; they aren't getting better. With hop forward beers, it's only downhill from the time it hits the bottle.

Next Thumbprint is Imperial Weizen, although I too would love to see Bohemian Lager.

 

This isn't my first IPA or Imperial IPA, but some certainly degrade faster than others. I liked it so much fresh decided to see how much it had changed. Almost had one tonight, but had a Furious and a HopDevil instead.

 

Took five stops, but I finally found some Wild Sour at a gas station near the Kenosha Metra stop. Left a few four packs behind. They also had some IIPA.
