Sauerland Euroblend 2021 - Sour beer

The Sauerland is a Westphalian region endowed with a rich culture. The Sauerlanders base their identity on the varied landscape, which offers mountains, forests, castles and fortresses, on Sauerland Platt, their very own dialect, on a full calendar of theater, music, folk festivals and carnival events, on Sauerland innovations and a wide range of culinary diversity. The world's first youth hostel was founded in Sauerland and the region has its very own version of potato pancakes, known locally as Potthucke. There are at least a dozen other recipes that are prepared a little differently by each family and have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. In the Sauerland, traditional specialties are enjoyed with beer from the many small private breweries.

One of these breweries is Freigeist Bierkultur. The young team takes a fresh look at the customs and traditions of their homeland and continues old customs with modern ideas and contemporary techniques.

For its latest creation, Euroblend, the brewery brought in colleagues from all over Europe: Ca` del Brado from Bologna and Brekeriet from Sweden were also involved. Each brewery brewed and barrel-matured a batch. The three beers were then married together to create a single masterpiece. The result is powerful, complex, wonderfully dry, fruity and sour and absolutely worth trying!
