Small-Scale Sour Beer Brewing

Understand how to produce sour and funky beers for your small brewery from a fellow craft brewer and author of the book American Sour Beers, Michael Tonsmeire. You’ll cover wort production, growing alternative microbes, blending, aging on fruit, and of course, sanitation. The goal is that you’ll leave with better knowledge to produce your own sour beers suited to the taste profile you want and the time frame you need as a business.
