Four Brewers: Craft Beer and Homebrew[S3/E33] The Goser CoasterSeason 3, Episode 33 – This week, we take a ride on the goser coaster and sample nine gose style beers.

Gose is a style of beer that’s usually low alcohol, a bit on the tart side, and made with salt to give it a dry, brackish feel (get into the finer details of the style here).
