Sour Ale
Sour Ale
Sour Ales are sour beers with a tart, sour or distinctly sour taste. The sour taste is not a brewing fault, but a special brewing technique. Sour Ales include a wide variety of beer styles, such as Gose, Berliner Weisse, Grisette, Gueuze, Rotbier, Lambic and others. Spontaneous fermentation processes by wild yeast or bacteria give these beers their sour taste. In the 18th and 19th centuries, sour beers were the norm, as hygiene regulations were not yet in place in some cases. In modern times, this process of fermentation is controlled. Sour beers are currently experiencing a revival after this type of beer had practically disappeared for some time. Many microbreweries and microbreweries are creating incredibly good and balanced malt beverages.
The craft beer scene is increasingly turning to this style of beer, often complementing these wonderful beers with fruit.
