from brewdog in scotland:   Bourbon Baby - 5.9% Bourbon Baby is a baby scotch ale, which we’ve gone on to age in bourbon barrels. The scotch ale base is light bodied and low ABV, and brings toasted shortcake and blossom honey flavours; the barrel ageing adds a demonic, dark vanilla twist. Rich brown sugar, hints of smoke, spiced fruit, chocolate and raisins are just some of the multitude of flavours that have developed. Our aim was to showcase barrel ageing in a lower ABV beer and the malty scotch ale base was the perfect way to do this. The body remains light, yet there is a complexity quite unlike anything you would normally expect in a scotch ale.

While it is a fact that I am trying to convert Stephen to a sour beer fan, I am not trying to force sours to break out in 2015.  I don't have to - 2015 as year of the sour is already off to a running start. In January three local breweries came out with sours: Four Winds with Nectarous, Four Winds and Steel & Oak collaborated on a Gratzer and Parallel 49 put its Bodhi on tap in the tasting room. Sour beers are a varied lot of beers that have been purposely infected with yeast strains ( Lactobacillus , Brettanomyces , and Pediococcus ) that cause them to taste sour. When this happens by accident, the beer is considered spoiled. When it is done on purpose, it is considered delicious! I think a very romantic example of a sour brewery is Cantillon Brewery i...
