396. Fernson Brewing Co. (Sioux Falls, SD) - Curio

“Curio is a sour ale full of intense citrus flavors that gives way to a lemonade and grapefruit finish. Spritzy and refreshing, this beer is perfect on a hot summer day.”

I don’t know if I get any specific fruit flavors, but it’s got a perfect balance of sour and grain, and it’s totally chuggable. Possibly the best sour I have ever tried—and it just so happens that I can check on that at the moment, because Black Acre recently tapped another batch of Cherry Ol’ Fritz, an exceptional sour that I have not seen for a couple of years. Regardless of whether it can top the Black Acre offering, this Fernson sour is the best thing I tried while we were in South Dakota.
