:eek:

I don't think I've had a beer with that much alcohol. How noticeable is it?

Yep, 80 Acre is great. Like Phobia, this has become my go-to pint.

Another 80 Acre fan here. I tried it about a year ago when it was a test batch.

Sure but the timing will be tight. Its only 12oz. Can you be here by 11:00?

Yeah - it's a 35 minute drive. I'll have to pass this time but thanks for the invite.

Epic beer week for me. One of my top 2 beer events of the year is on Saturday, and there's a full week of run-up events. Here's the program:

It's also Sour Beer Week this week at the Flying Saucer in KC. Last night was Jolly Pumpkin night.

Maracaibo Especial, whoa. That stuff is good.

Oh, man. love sour beers.

drank this the other night. Okay, mostly malty and pretty good. But for the price, I wouldn't pick it up again.

explain to me what a sour beer is?

Founders is a great brewery. I love that "Rye PA" they have, very nice.

it's a beer, that tastes sour

is it like a framboise? or something like that. I thought I've had almost every style of beer, I've never seen a "sour beer" style.

It's not a style, it's a broad description. Beers that taste sour because of certain yeast strains and/or bacteria.

Beer styles that are sour include:

Lambic
Gueuze
American Wild Ale
Berliner Weisse
Flanders Red Ale
Gose
Flanders Oud Bruin

some specific Saisons and Witbiers are also sour
