Gosh It's Posh Elderflower White Wine Sour

In the wonderful wide world of craft beers you will find many testosterone-filled macho brews. And then there are beers that are “oh mine so fine” that they almost fall into the wine category. As you might have guessed from the name: Gosh it's Posh Elderflower White Wine Sour, this beer is brewed with white wine grapes and elderflower. This results in a delicate beer that is a bit snobbish but barely hoppy. The chic fresh taste fits perfectly with the soirees, matinees and other chic occasions that you often visit. Or get some now: put it in your underwear and be who you are.

Style description: What exactly is a Sour?

Hundreds of years ago, all beers had a sour taste. There was no hygiene then as we know it today, nor was there any knowledge about the fermentation process. When we got the hang of all that a bit and pure yeast strains were also developed, the quality of the beer became better and the sour taste was no longer part of the character of beer.

Now “sour” beers are on the rise again because they taste so nice and fresh. The brewers add lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus), the same bacterial cultures that are also used in yogurt preparation. The beer is therefore slightly soured and often fruit is also added to make it a little fresher.

We discovered the lactic acid bacteria used by The Flying Dutchman in sourdough bread starters in Finland. Finland has an old sourdough tradition that is passed down from generation to generation. We found a lactic acid bacteria in one of these sourdoughs that goes very well with our sour beers. Very unique to capture this piece of history in our beers!
