Wild Brews (Sparrow)

When brewers allow organisms other than Saccharomyces yeast to influence the taste of their ales, a new family of flavors enters the beer vocabulary. Wild Brews explores the world of Lambics, Flanders red and brown beers and American interpretations of these special beers.

Beer lovers and brewers alike will find a detailed description of the brewing methods and fermentation procedures used to craft these distinctively flavorful beers as well as information on wood-barrel aging, blending and the use of fruit in wild fermentations.
