I was in Portland over the weekend and I went to a brew pub that specialized in sour beers called Cascade Brewing Barrel Hours.

Which specialized in SOUR beers and food. It was really amazing… but only if you like sour beers.

Concerning the IPA craze: I cannot wait for this to be over in the Pacific NW.

I think the Sour thing is just another stop in the journey of being a beer geek. Many people start with wheats, move on to IPAs, dabble in Belgians, etc. Sour beers are definitely unique, and something everyone should try at least once. Try something that’s readily available, and not too expensive, like Rodenbach Grand Cru, Duchesse De Bourgogne, or even the Lindemann’s stuff. Maybe you’ll love it, maybe you’ll spit it out.

Thanks for the comment and suggestion Jonathan…I actually was chatting with a guy at the beer store about that particular Ommegang brew last night.

Following you on twitter now too.

Though it is contract brewed, you’ve got to try the Ommegang Rouge Grand Cru. Delicious!!! And I agree with your assessment, we might have an emerging trend on our hands here.

It’s funny that Nate just wrote this stuff. I got my Zymurgy today and it has a lot of stuff about IPA. Funny thing! Actually, the very last article mentions that the guy is putting Pliny the Elder down for a while just to try other stuff.
