By on January 9, 2013in beer events, breweries

Pour Decisions is releasing a Gose, Salinity Saturday at the brewery starting at noon. $11 for 1 or 2 for $20. 750ml. More info? Here you go!

Gose? GOOOO-ZEH. Gose! An exceedingly rare, crazy old German beer style made with salt, coriander and fermented with lactobacillus. Bright and yeasty. Fresh and pomme fruity. Sour and tangy. Simply, an unfiltered, sour, salty and spicy wheat-based ale from Leipzig that dances across your tongue…and kicks a little butt…
