Forums >Health and Nutrition>What is your favorite beer?
Back off!
Well, Lambics ARE decidedly funky, but they are not a twist on beer. They have been around far longer than most of what we call beer today.
I just don't believe it...
What don't you believe? That Lambics are funky or that they have been around longer than Bud lite?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Been around that long ... c'mon - I'm not talking Bud lite (which isn't beer & u know it) - I just can't believe that the world's first drunk would drink something like that, I could be wrong but it seems unreal!

Same with coffee, enough with the flavors already
Thanks for reminding me. This has been my favorite beer as of late. Sadly, it is a limited release and is no longer available. I do have a few bottles left though.

Well, aruably, in its purest form beer has been around longer than civilization. However, if you want to go back to the first clear lager beers (the first modern beers), well, Lambics have been around longer than lagers.
This is true. It's why the technology tree pulls up beer before pottery or mining.
I doubt that the first drunk was a beer / liquor snob. Probably just stumbled upon it I would guess.

What Trent said.
Plus a couple hundred years ago all beer went sour eventually. They didn't exactly have aluminum cans and walk in coolers. Wood kegs are a good place for bacteria and other stuff to live which is why lambic breweries still use wood vats.
I just finished a Hannsens Oude Kriek. I think I might spontaneously add these dregs to my barrel.

You know, I found the HOK okay. Not great, just okay. Which is too bad since it cost me some $14 for the bottle. It is clearly a Lambic purists' beer, loaded full of the brett. flavors. And sours. But in the end, it lacked the pleasure of, say, a Wisconsin Red.
But I would certainly consider adding the dregs to my carboy!
Yeah this stuff was sour. Not much in cherry flavor. About an 8 on my scale of funkiness. Cantillon Kriek or New Belgium La Follie being the most sour.
I have a bottle of NG Red I've been saving for a couple months. That will be my favorite beer when I drink it.
Yeah, see that is why I always buy at least two bottles of the NG Lambics. One to drink now and the other to drink as soon as I can stand waiting no longer.

Just a few more weeks until we head to the motherland...ahhh...we're going to pack light so that we have ample room for NG on the return trip.
