Now for those of you who don’t know what Sour Beer is, it isn’t a double-bluff. It’s exactly what it says on the tin, a sour or tart beer. Technically, it’s also the oldest type of beer in history. But let’s be honest, that’s most likely going to be by accident back in those days.

Sour beer has become more and more trendy amongst beer enthusiasts and Beatnikz want to make sure everyone gets a try at sampling some. Known amongst fans as ‘funky’, Beatnikz are showcasing a varied selection of farmhouse beers from some of the finest purveyors of funk.

The 5 beers will be taking over the taps from noon on 20th September and once they’re gone they’re gone.

TAP LIST:

Yonder Brewing & Blending – Eldermother (4.2%) 
A Belgian-style pale ale with elderflower.
