SaveOnBrew's Top 5 American Sour Beers
09.21.2012 18:59 PM (comments: 0)
Are you sick to death of hops? If so, then sour beers are the furthest thing from it. Don’t let the idea of a “sour” beer churn your guts. The Wall Street Journal describes sour beers as “an acquired taste for most, but a life’s pursuit for a devoted few.”
Basically, what gives a sour beer its unique flavor is the yeast. Most beers are fermented with yeasts selected by brewers for their predictable (and desirable) characteristics. On the other hand, sour beer makers are part cowboy, part mad scientist. They select brettanomyces yeast that is wild, untamed, funky, sweaty and even sometimes unwanted. It’s the last-picked teammate. It’s the ugliest sister. It’s the song you hate but can’t get out of your head.

Green Bottle Beer Drops In Price!

There are beer snobs who say anything that comes in a green bottle tastes “skunky.” And, to a certain degree, they’re right. That skunk flavor affixed to certain beers occurs when too much light gets into a bottle, so it makes sense.
However, that would make cans the superior vessel – and most beer snobs then complain the taste is too “tinny.” You just can't win, right?

Backpacking across Asia isn’t for the faint of heart. But with a couple beers, the world is your oyster. At least, so says Texan and World Adventurer, Justin Bratton. The 30-year-old model / actor left home with nothing more than a backpack full of beer as barter.
