    If any of you snow people ever head up to Baker, stop by North Fork Brewing and open your wallet. They have killer sours for such a podunk out of the way little brewery. They're awfully proud of them, though. Taught me to always ask for the price before the growler fill. "SIXTY-SEVEN DOLLARS!?"

    That is a great little brewery.

    ATBS, I loathe sours.
    Your hatred of Euro Fag beer causes me much befuddlement.

    There's so much there. Disliking all sours is pretty understandable and common. Clean German and Austrian lagers and less clean Czech ones? Hybrids like Kolsch/Altbier? Hefeweizen? Belgian wit? The entire range of Belgians? Abundance? Janet Reno?

    Sounds like a lot of haie in his life, but I'll repeat: To each their own.

    I tried hard to like Belgians, to fit in you see. I've been to Monk's in Philly several times. I'd still probably dig Delerium Tremens. It's been so long I can't really remember the exact reasons why, but I think it's the yeast strains used. I don't like the banana-y esters or the bubblegummy flavors.

    I can enjoy a good lager on occasion, same with an Alt or Kolsch. Alaskan Amber was my favorite beer for a long time. But I don't care for the malting style of the German dark beers.

    Over time, I found what I enjoyed most are the English-originated styles. Porters, stouts, IPA, pales, and my GOATs, Imperial/Export Stouts.

    Love a nice sour, but the Duchess is bit too much red wine vinegar for me. Bit sweet I don't mind; I've got other stuff when looking for something dry.
    More of a fan of Flanders Brown/Oud Bruin, like Goudenband, that I sometimes mix with a semi-sweet tart cherry mead to make a killer sour fruit beer.
    Basically, lactic acid is great, acetic acid at high levels is more LikeWeSay...No.gif for me. To each their own.

    @BleachedAnusDawg @ThomasFremont @CFetters_Nacho_Lover ??

    Thanks Bleached Anus Doog on the tip on Cantillon. So this is the one I've been into lately. It's always in stock at Whole Foods and darn tasty.




    Have not had that one. I'll have to give it a try.

    Bleh, sours all the rage right now and I have very little interest. Did you grow a handlebar mustache to improve the salty after taste?

    I had the @UW_Doog_Bot English IPA. It has some floaties in it but was very tasty.

    The yeast is good for you.
