(Chippewa Falls, WI) – Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Co. sent over some info on its latest seasonal, BeerGarten Tart. More below…

—

Leinenkugel’s BeerGarten Tart is inspired by the Berliner Weisse, a classic German biergarten summer favorite.

Departing a bit from a traditional Berliner Weisse, we brew ours to be less tart and not as dry.

The tartness is subtle at first and builds gradually as you enjoy the beer. It’s a more sessionable take on a sour style that is becoming increasingly popular in craft.

With origins in Germany and Belgium, sour beer styles including Berliner Weisse, Gose and Lambic are an emerging category in the US. Case volume in the sour ale category is up 43% in Nielsen over the latest 52 weeks.

Leinenkugel’s BeerGarten Tart is available for a limited time: April 1 – July 31.
