So I have to reveal something to you. I have become somewhat of an Al Bundy lately a la the photo below. Every day, after I come home from work, I have been treating myself to a nice...cold... BEER! I know, I know, it's so ladylike, right?

I think we all go through libation phases, Am I right? I went from Boone's Farm (early college days, don't judge)... to raspberry vodka (ugh, still early college days)... to whisky... to wine... and now beer. If I may share some of my current favorites...

Wheat Beer 

Wheat beer is.. you guessed it... beer that is brewed with a large proportion of wheat in addition to malted barley. The two common varieties are the Ducth witbier and the German weissbier and include flavorings such as orange and coriander. Wheat beers are usually top fermented and include varieties such as hefeweizen, witbier and the sour varieties such as lambic. Wheat beers are typically served with a lemon or orange peel in America, a practice that is frowned upon in Bavaria. Sorry Bavarians, but it tastes better that way #sorrynotsorry 

Some shining stars include Allagash White, Hoegaarden, Ballast Point Wheat Beer, Lindemans Lambic Frambois, Wells and Young Banana Bread. 

Sour Beer 

Normally, beer makers are meticulous as keeping rogue yeasts and bacteria out of beer. Sour beer makers say "screw that noise" and deliberately introduce these items during the beer-making rocess, producing a tart or sour taste as the beer ferments. Yumm, right? Before you write off sour beer completely, please just give it a try. My best explanation of the taste is like drinking a milder tasting beer that has been graced with the fabulous taste of gummy belts or sour patch kids. The sour taste hits you right in the jaw... and because I am a glutton for punishment, the sour beer can hit me again and again... it's SO delicious! 

Some shining stars include Russian Rover Sour, Los Abbey Cable Car, Supplication, La Folie.

Saison Beer

Mmm Saison's are so light and airy and fluffy and delicious. This lightly carbonated pale ale generally yields flavors that are fruity and spicy. Originally  Saisons were a group of refreshing summer ales made by farmers in Belgium.

Some shining stars include Fantome Saison, Allagash Interlude, Jolly Pumpkin.
