To enter the mind of a fruit beer, we must challenge the mind of a Lambic.
This week on the Beer Coasters Podcast, we put the fava beans aside and pick up a glass of yet another fruit beer. But, this is no ordinary fruit beer. A centuries-old Belgian tradition of aging wild-fermented fruit ales, brings us to the modern day Lambic. These slightly sour, very sweet, refreshing beers come in many fruits and flavors. For our Fermentation Conversation, we visit the Lambic motherland, Belgium with the Kriek from Lindemans. In our Hop Topic, we discuss AB's plan to trademark area codes. In the middle of the country, Chris gets transported on Con Air from Belgium with Strawberry from Timmerman's. Mike, along with Samuel Adams, puts the Barrel Room Collection American Kriek in the basket. And finally, Toby strips off the straight jacket for a glass of Stumptown Tart by Bridgeport.
We really appreciate all the Backwash we've been getting lately - keep it coming! Cheers!
