🍻 The Gose: A Contradiction of Flavor, an Oasis of Taste
Gose (pronounced goh-zuh) takes its name from the German town of Goslar, where this beer style was said to have originated.
This historic beer style has a rich heritage dating back centuries, and it proudly stands out from the crowd.
What sets Gose apart is its inclusion of salt and coriander, which lend a distinct savory and herbal note to the brew. It’s simultaneously tart and refreshing, with a subtle hint of salinity that adds an intriguing twist to the overall experience. The combination of wheat, yeast, and lactobacillus bacteria gives it a sour character, creating a remarkable harmony that surprises and delights beer enthusiasts.
This once-popular regional beer fell into obscurity but experienced a resurgence in the late 20th century, captivating beer enthusiasts worldwide with its distinctive taste and intriguing heritage. Today, Gose stands as a testament to the enduring allure of forgotten beer styles, reclaimed and cherished by modern brewers and beer aficionados alike.

Thankfully, a resurgence in craft beer culture in recent years breathed new life into this forgotten gem, bringing it back to its rightful place in the beer world.
