Sours at the Yak & Yeti? Well, not exactly. I’ve been playing with acid malt and working some recipes that give tartness, not a true sour beer. To explain, most sour beers have been inoculated with Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, and other various bacteria to give the beer a sour edge. Just like blue cheese, some people adore it, others loath it, the same can be said for sour beers.
I don’t really want to deliberately infect my lines just to have one sour beer, so I tried to compromise and use a clean method for producing a lower pH beer and mixed with blueberries, we get Blueberry Tart. Inspired by the pie-like dessert, this beer has malts similar to a brown ale but has a ton of blueberry puree added in the secondary. Released on Wed Oct 18th at 4PM. Some like them tart, others nart!
Prost!
