SOUR PEAR ALE

Available only on-site at BrewHouse restaurant

“Personally, I don’t like the word ‘sour’ to describe these beers, which are new to North America, but have been enjoyed in Belgium for centuries. It’s too onedimensional. They’re very diverse, and in many ways, taste more cider-like, possibly even like wine. Made with B.C.-grown pears, this light, golden ale (5.5 per cent ABV) exhibits a refreshing tartness balanced with subtle fruit notes. The effervescent thirst quencher will be served in a 13-ounce tulip glass to keep it cool and fresh while emitting its delicious aroma. Since this one is quite acidic, it pairs well with lightly dressed greens, creamy cheeses or something really hearty like cassoulet or shrimp and grits.”
