What do you know about Gose style beers? Nada? Here’s a decent read that talks about it.
Now I spent a couple years in Germany back in the mid-eighties. However, Hefeweizen was my thing then. Never even heard of Gose. So I have no authentic point of reference, unless you want to believe the myriad of American microbreweries headed by douchebag hipsters, all claiming to have an authentic Gose. Whatevs. Give me your damn salty, sour beer and let me tell you if it’s any good.
Well, turns out I love the stuff. First one was from a brewery not far from me called Westbrook. I didn’t know what I was buying, I just liked the rather unassuming white can with black letters. Plain as hell…what could be inside. First sip and I thought it was skunky and, well, had turned bad. Then that aftertaste hit me. That was it. I was hooked.
Since that day probably 10 years ago, I’ve tried as many Gose beers as I can. Today I stumbled upon a damn good one. If you’ve never tried this style beer, why not give it a try? But don’t rush to judgment. If you don’t like it after the first sip, see what your palate has to say 30 seconds later. You might be surprised. And if you see this one in your shopping ventures, well just remember I told you it was good. You can thank or curse me later.
I’m a Bud Light drinker mostly, but love a good German beer once in a while, one of my favorites is ERDINGER Weissbier,
The ultimate premium wheat beer.
It’s a one off custom mod wrap done for me by Josh at jwraps and has held up for well over a year and a half, but last I checked it looks like he fell off the face of the earth, no activity in a while on Insta and the website is down?
(He did send me an extra set too, no additional charge)
Here was the mock up;
But then I remembered a week ago I told him he gets $25 for every A, and $50 for any A+ grades (after he told me he gets A’s AND B’s). This means my 8 year old son just conned me out of $175. His teacher said he is the smartest kid in the 3rd grade at his school. It seems he outsmarted my ass too huh?
