Sour Beer Introduction Recomendations?
|
|
I am looking for some recommendations for an introduction, or primer, to brewing sour beers. I am becoming increasingly interested reading the Wild/Lambic forum but seem to be missing the foundation of knowledge. Anyone have some good suggestions for reading? Also, what are some good introductions to commercial sour beers to taste? Thanks for any input.

As far as recommended reading I'd say "Wild Brews" by Jeff Sparrow. As for commercial sours to try, I'm a big fan of the Jolly Pumpkin line up along with anything Cantillon of course.
You can also check out

always something interesting to read there. |

Thanks for the input. I loosely follow the mad fermentationist and I actually just went to the library 2 days ago to check out "Wild Brew," but it was missing. I put in a request for the book finder to track it down (yes, they actually employ someone as a "book finder" ala Seinfeld). They are suppose to email me when it is tracked down.

Wild Brews is a good book to start on, quite informative and the author is truly in love with spontaneously fermented beers.

I love Wild Brews! As for sour beers to try: Petrus Aged Pale, anything Jolly Pumpkin, Rodenbach Grand Cru, anything Boon, Ichtegem's Grand Cru, Monk's Cafe, and if you can get Russian River sours or New Belgium sours, try those.

JP Bam Biere and Madrugada Obscura are two of my favorites. The Duchesse de Bourgogne is a good entry level sour as its kind of sweet. Rodenbach is phenomenal. And if you can find it, any of the sours of Russian River.
