Watneys Scotch Ale

[Andrew Breecher]

A set of beers I found interesting were those at the Cantillon Brewery, right in Brussels. They still make them in the historical way using the wild yeasts in the air. In fact, because of this historical method, they are exempted from the standards of plant cleanliness so that the yeasts can survive. The beer was very interesting, with a very sour taste. It's not something that I would just sit and drink, but it was definitely something to experience. I recommend anyone going to Brussels to stop by there and try it. They make lambics and gueuze beers.

My bar had, until recently, Cantillon Iris on tap, a blended and dry-hopped lambic (no fruit). It was amazing! I loved watching people try it, because they'd sip and get this revolted look on their face. Some people just aren't ready for real sour Belgian beers!
