About Sour Beer
Sour beer is actually the oldest type of beer in history. Modern beers are done in a sterile environment to guard against the intrusion of wild yeast and bacteria; however, sour beers are made by intentionally allowing wild yeast strains or bacteria into the beer. The final product is a sour beer which can be acidic, tart or sour.
