Description

The episode you've been waiting for! This week Jason and Stephen swoon over the incredible history of one of the world's oldest distinct beer styles, the Gose from Goslar, Germany. Beloved in Germany for centuries, this beer style has just recently become one of the most common sour beer styles in the U.S. Come learn why there are poems written just to celebrate this wonderful and unique beer style.

Gose good gifts of God; Joy and delirium.

We strive to be lazy; Gose becomes our sanctuary.

Our fingers grasp what has been ripened in the cellar.

All become Gose brothers who drink the gentle drink here.

-Dr. Hartmut Hennebach
