The choice of cherries - a snack I previously reserved for summer days by the pool - had me questioning why I opt for apple over cherry pie every year. Yet once again, Mikkeller proved they knew what they were doing with a holiday sour. To me, the style screams sunshine, and since summer is usually year round for us, I take advantage of the month or so of darker skies and colder weather to try heavier, hoppier brews. However, I usually stray away from my go-to beer over the holidays.
Now if you’ve read my previous columns, it’s no surprise I’m a huge fan of sours.
