EPISODE 10: Sour Summit

EPISODE 10
Sour Summit

Last Mother's Day I stepped outside my door
To Downtown Spirits I then quickly raced
To drink sour beers, a style that I admire
(Though I admit it's an acquired taste)

Brettanomyces gives these ales their funk
Lactobacillus makes them acid-tart
Though some dismiss these brewing styles as junk
To others they're the apex of the art

They led with Petrus, just to set the tone
Then Ichtegems, a Flemish Grand Cru blend
And next a Lambic gueuze from Cantillon
With Almanac's sour porter at the end

If you'd like something wilder in your cup
Try one of these! (Prepare to pucker up)
