Sours
How much Sour can you handle? When we were kids there was sour everything. Sour Patch Kids, Sour Gummies, Sour Soda’s, Warheads, Lemon Heads, Sweet Tarts. Don’t forget nature’s own sour fruits, like Lemons, Limes, Oranges, Strawberries, Cranberries. With all those different flavors that come out we’re in a world of not just your average Beer anymore. Let’s talk Sours!
You might think hmm sour beer. Well it’s not like pucker up buttercup sour, although there are a few that do catch you off guard and might just make you pucker up. But for the most part Sours are a rich fruity beer that doesn’t leave you with an aftertaste of all that Wheat and Barley that you normally find in most beers.
What’s in a Sour Beer. Sours are made with a wild bacteria and yeast during the brewing process to give that Tart Flavor. Most commonly the bacteria used is Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, while Brettanomyces is often used to add acidity.
We hope you enjoy our findings as much as we do!
So PUCKER UP BUTTERCUP it’s time to get your Sour On!

Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Berliner Sour Ale– 6.9% ABV*
Brewed by WeldWerks Brewing Co.
This Sour Ale is brewed with Cherries, Dark Chocolate, Milk Sugar, Graham Cracker & Cheesecake.
When you drink this you get a tart cherry taste with a graham cracker finish. Great for Cherry lovers alike.
This was by far the best sour I have ever tasted. So much so that I had to have Steven bring me home a whole 4 pack all to myself. Sort of had to make up for me stealing his in the first. place. I mean when he offers it to me just to taste it I’m bound to find one I like and 95% of the time he does not get it back that night lol.

Chocolate is in the front, cherry backbone with the crust of the cheesecake. Good for a Berliner. Finishing notes kind of stays with you, makes it a good solid sour.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake Berliner Sour Ale-5.3% ABV*
Brewed by WeldWerks Brewing Co.
This Sour Ale is brewed with pineapple puree, almonds, milk sugar, vanilla, vanilla cake mix & with Natural flavors added.
Looking for your favorite all time dessert in a can, look no further. Pineapple upside down cake in a can and at your fingertips. NO fork needed.
I was excited to try this one as Pineapple Upside Down Cake is one of my all time favorite desserts. I am a Pineapple lover at heart and to try this as a Sour Ale I was all too ecstatic. I will say it needed more Pineapple flavor but you definitely get the cake taste out of it.

Looking for a great childhood flashback adult style. Here’s your beer! Just the right combo of the Strawberry*Grape gives you the Nerds candy Throwback
OMG! Can I just say WOW! Ok going back to the top of this post where I said some Sours with make you pucker up. Yeah well this one will do that to you with the first sip. But after that there is just a smooth taste of pure childhood throwback of your favorite candy Nerds. Truly WeldWerks hit this one on the nose with the flavors. This Sour has moved to the top of my list.

I get a sour Grape KOOL AID flavor through and through. Not one of my favorite Sours but not bad for what it is.

Chronic Berry– 5.2% ABV*
Brewed by WeldWerks Brewing Co.
Chronic Berry is a smoothie style sour ale brewed with Cherries, Strawberries, Blueberries and other natural flavors.
I was expecting this to sort of have flavor like the “Bomb Pops”. The flavor was close, definitely more of the cherry than “berry” taste. The can is fun too, if you happen to have a set of 3D glasses lying around.

Rosetta Sour Ale aged on cherries– 5.6%ABV*
Brewed by Brewery Omme Gang Cooperstown NY.
The cherry flavored sour ale is blended with Oud Bruin, a tart Flemish brown ale, and Cuvee Brut, a cheerful cherry beer.
This sour ale has made it to the top of my list. It has a very strong cherry taste and is much thicker than other sours I’ve tasted.

Sour Me Unicorn Farts – 5.5% ABV*
Brewed by Duclaw Brewing Co. MD.
This sour ale is brewed with cherries, tangerines, & limes. Fruity cereal is added into the mash and it’s finished off with a sprinkle of a natural, mineral-based edible glitter. That’s right you read it, GLITTER! What else do you expect from Unicorn Farts!
A sweet & tart beer with a hint of malty biscuit. A collaboration between DuClaw Brewing Company & Diablo Doughnuts.
I was expecting more of a fruity flavor given what it is brewed with however there was just a slight hint of fruitiness. The glitter was pretty subtle for a beer.
–Trista–
It was an Okay sour. It was only different because of the glitter. Not a lot of fruity flavor. Just a decent sour beer.

Peach Dream Fruited Sour– 5.2% ABV*
Brewed by TommyKnocker Brewery, Idah Springs CO.
Good for a summertime BBQ. Peach flavor from start to finish. Easy to drink. Light in color like a lager.
