]]> Sour beers are one of the trendiest options on the market now, and for good reason. These tart and crisp suds offer up a completely new experience for those who haven’t had much experience outside of traditional styles.

More and more microbreweries, and even some big players in the beer world, are starting to make their own. So, which styles should you try? Here is a quick guide.

Lambic

Lambics are one of the most classic sour beer styles, originating in Belgium centuries ago. This beer style is fermented through exposure to wild yeasts, giving it a funky and sour taste that can be altered by the addition of fruits.

Gose

Are light beers more your thing? If so, the low-alcohol and utterly drinkable Gose style might be a great choice for you. This beer, which has recently surged in popularity, is sour and salty and goes great for a day full of yard work.

American Wild Ale

While sour beers are originally from Germany, American breweries have put their own twist on this style, most notably with the American Wild Ale style. This creation, similar to the Belgian lambic, introduces wild bacteria and yeasts from the American continent to create a whole new flavor profile.

This superb little @jesterkingbrewery table beer reminds me of Orval, perhaps because I'm obsessed with that gem. Petit Prince is hoppy, fruity yet crisply bitter with a very dry finish. JK's house mixed culture of Thiriez (?) and indigenous yeast and bacteria is the star. Brett is definitely “barnyard” dominant, reminiscent of White Labs B. lambicus but there's a lot more as well. This is a light beer with enormous depth of character and unmistakable terroir. ⁣⁣ ⁣ Le Petit Prince, Batch #23, June 2018, by Jester King Brewery, Austin, TX (goo.gl/jdrc4h). 28C Wild Speciality Beer, ABV 2.9%.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Sadly this is my last bottle. Who knows when some more will make its way down under but the memory will linger on. The JK culture will also linger on, in the hope of brewing a “clone” even though the recipe seems to have disappeared from JK's site. To be continued….
