American Wild Ale:
An American Wild Ale is an ale brewed in America with a wild strain of yeast. The yeast is what makes the beer sour, similar to all other sours. We’ve seen that American Brewers have made Belgian and German style sour ales, but they are different to the term American Wild Ale.
It gets a little trickier in this style to figure out what you like, as there is a huge range. Not steeped in thousands of years of brewing traditions, American breweries have no rules. The result is a lot of good beer, and a lot of weird beer. We’ve tried to break down the American Wild Ales for you.
