Cest What Durham Brewing

Beer fact: Cream ales first originated in the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, in response to the popularity of German lagers. The fermentation took about two-thirds the time as the fermentation of a lager, which meant that it was both cheaper and faster to produce.

Gose originated in Goslar, a town in Eastern Germany named for the Gose River flowing through it. The beer’s roots are tied to this river and its natural salinity. Although first documented in 1470, some speculate that this beer style has actually existed for over 1000 years.

Beer fact of the week: A gose, pronounced go-suh, is a top-fermented German wheat beer soured through lactic fermentation and flavoured with coriander and salt.

Happy Friday!
