BeerSaturday 378 - Stillwater Ancient Grain Sour Ale (Meinklang)
Here's my entry for BeerSaturday 378 with a Sure Ale made from organic ancient grains brewed by Meinklang in Austria. And yes, for once we're not in Quebec. A friend brought this beer home one evening, always cool to discover a new type of beer from another country.
Voici ma participation au BeerSaturday 378 avec une Ale Sure faite à partir de grains anciens biologiques brassée par Meinklang en Autriche. Et oui, pour une fois nous ne sommes pas au Québec. Un ami a ramené cette bière un soir, toujours cool de découvrir une nouvelle type de bière provenant d'un autre pays.
So for this BeerSaturday, we're not going to use a map of Quebec, but rather of Europe, to locate this brewery and vineyard Meinklang in Austria on the border with Hungary.

🍺 Tasting / Dégustation :
Stillwater Ancient Grain Sour Ale** is a 5% alcohol Sour Ale brewed with organically grown ancient grains. The grains used are locally grown barley and wheat. In the glass, you'll find a beautiful, slightly cloudy orange-yellow color. This is topped by a thick white foam. But on the palate, the taste is quite unique, with a well-balanced bitterness. Really very good, I hope to find other beers from Meinklang near me.
La Stillwater Ancient Grain Sour Ale est une Ale Sure avec 5% d'alcool brassée avec des grains anciens issus de l'agriculture biologique. Il s'agit de l'orge et du blé produits localement. Dans le verre, on retrouve une belle robe jaune orangée légèrement troublée. Le tout est surmontée par une mousse blanche épaisse. Mais en bouche, on retrouve un gout assez unique avec une amertume bien balancée. Vraiment très bonne, j'espère trouver d'autres bières de Meinklang près de chez moi.
Design
The design Meinklang is quite simple, with a cow logo on a gold background. Behind it are the ingredients and their provenance. Simple and effective... / FR : Le design Meinklang est assez simple avec le logo avec une vache sur un fond d'or. Derrière, on retrouve les ingrédients et leur provenance. Simple et efficace...

I sampled some 3,000-years-old beer for this Beer Saturday, and I am quite glad we moved forward with brewing since that particular recipe was introduced. This one sounds way better though ;)
Oh I'll go read your post, quite curious to see that taste the recipe for beer 3000 years ago.

The sour presence in its name led me into thinking that it will have a sour taste but from your description, it has a smooth bitter taste in the palate too. That's incredible!!.
So, tell me, have you found any like it around you?
I didn't taste too much of the beer's sour flavour, only a slight bitterness. But I find that a tasting often depends on my state of mind, the same beer is appreciated differently if happy or not.
And I haven't yet found any other beers from this brewery, but I haven't yet been to my favourite beer merchant.
Have a lovey day
Man, this looks good! I have baked bread with various ancient grains, and I have to be honest that some of them make the best bread (especially sourdough). Spelt, which is readily available here, makes for the best sourdough bread in my opinion.
This beer looks really awesome! I would not mind sampling some of it. I wish we could have similar beers here in South Africa, but local farmers do not want to grow ancient grains, as it is not profitable for them. Such a shame.
Thanks for sharing a really interesting beer!
