Sours are my newest beer love. I can’t drink enough of them and I really haven’t found any don’t like, but I sure have found some that I love. My next sour is Russian River’s Consecration Batch 003, that I acquired in a recent beer trade. While still a very small brewery in Santa Rosa California, they have developed in a premeir leader in Sour and Barrel aged beers in the United States. So it is only fitting that I try some!
I don’t know Mikkeller does it, but every beer that I’ve had from this “nomadic” brewer has been world class. When I saw this on the Shelf at the Liquor Outlet in Boonton NJ, I had to get it – it was a cranberry lambic and from Mikkeller. I didn’t see how I could go wrong.
This beer was an impulse buy, I didn’t go out in search of it. Seeing this tiny pudgy bottle of Eerwaarde Pater mixed in with corked 750 ml big boys made it standout. After reading the label I was intrigued and wanted to try this brew. This is a 9% abv Belgian Dark ale matured in oak, has potential?
After last weeks podcast of Esoteric Italian Beer, Mark said he’d never had a sour beer, there for couldn’t rate the Panil Bariquèe Flanders Red. So this week, all sour beers!
