My local craft brewer Siren has been at it again, a new month and a new release of three interesting beers. The theme is "sour", which in the case of beer is usually done by the addition of lactobacillus bacteria into the fermentation stage, this reduced the pH of the beer and makes it sour (like lemonade) Of course having a basic sour beer is tasty but a bit boring so Siren have created three flavour themes, a hoppy version using Simcoe hops, a cherry negroni and a whiskey sour, the latter two flavoured using oak from barrels that previously contained spirit. I popped over to their tap yard yesterday and sampled all three (for science) and would rate all of them, my favourite however was the cherry version, I'm a sucker for cherries and it was bursting with them!
