The post Sour Beer Lovers Rejoice: These Three Styles are for You appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>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.
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.
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.
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.

]]>Looking for some perfect spring-centric beers for this season? Here are some of my top picks for beer styles that go great with the spring.
New England IPAs have been one of the most trending beers during the past couple of years. While normal IPAs are known for their hop bitterness, the New England variant of this style backs down on the hops and allows tropical fruit flavors to shine through.
Gose beers were originally brewed in Germany in the 13th century, and have recently become popular throughout the world. Low in alcohol and featuring lemon sour notes, saltiness, and a touch of coriander, this is an extremely drinkable style that you’ll love for doing yard work and other outside chores.
Another beer style with German roots that goes great with the springtime is the famous pilsner. While many of us might believe that this beer carries negative connotations due to its mass-produced variants, the truth is that craft breweries make plenty of delicious varieties of this refreshing brew.

]]>One of the hottest trends in craft beer recently has been sour beers, and specifically, the introduction of fruited sours into the world of artisan suds.
Sour beers have a tart and/or acidic taste which is rare in the world of beer. While they may sound strange at first, this unique twist on beer is one of the most delicious creations that anyone in the craft beer industry has come up with.
When you add fruit flavors to the mix, the result is a crisp and refreshing beer that is truly second to none.
Brewers these days are beginning to take a sour beer base, which is made by using wild yeast strains or bacteria to give the beer a tart flavor and adding fruit pulp or juice to turn it into a fruited sour. This works especially well with fruits that have a bit of tartness such as blueberries and cherries.
Have you tried a fruited sour beer yet? What did you think?

]]>Here are four unique beer glasses that you should get to know and love!
Tulip glasses have a wide, bulbous shape that tapers towards the top before flaring out at the rim. They are especially popular for Belgian Trappist varieties as well as strongly aromatic beers like imperial IPAs.
Ever wondered what those tall and skinny beer glasses are called? Well, the name is a Stange glass, and they are best used for light German styles such as Kolsch and pilsners.
One of the world’s most popular beer styles has its own glass. The aromatic, hoppy, and bitter IPA style is best enjoyed in its namesake glass, which helps with aeration and head retention.
Ever wanted to feel like a medieval king while drinking a beer? Try using a goblet glass, which is especially perfect when paired with heavy, high-alcohol beers like heavy Belgian ales and German doppelbocks that are best enjoyed sipped.
