🍺Sour & Spontaneously Fermented Beers

Sour and Wild Ales

Beers intentionally made tart or funky through wild yeast (Brettanomyces) or bacteria (Lactobacillus, Pediococcus). Belgian lambics are fermented entirely by wild airborne microbes.

💡Traditional lambic brewers open their windows in winter to let wild yeast blow in — making Brussels' Senne Valley one of the few places this works reliably.
