Why is it called a sour beer?
The term “sour beer” can be a bit misleading, as not all sour beers are actually all that sour. In fact, the acidity in sour beer is often quite subtle, lending a refreshing tartness to the flavor. So why is it called a sour beer? Most beers are brewed with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a type of yeast that produces moderate levels of alcohol and gives beer its characteristic sweetness.
However, sour beers are brewed with other types of microorganisms, such as lactobacillus and brettanomyces. These microbes produce lactic and acetic acids, which give sour beers their distinctive tart flavor.In addition, brettanomyces can also impart a funky, barnyard-like aroma to the beer. So next time you’re enjoying a tart Belgian Lambic or Flanders Red Ale, remember that you have fermentation to thank for its unique flavor profile.
