What Is a Sour Beer?

Wondering what is a sour beer?

Sour beer is a broad beer style known for its distinctive tart, acidic and often fruity flavour. Different brewing techniques, yeasts and cultures can create flavours ranging from lightly sharp and refreshing to intensely sour, funky and complex.

Many sour beers are brewed with fruits such as cherry, raspberry, strawberry and tropical fruits, creating vibrant flavours that balance sweetness with refreshing acidity.

If fruit-forward styles are your thing, explore our wider Fruit Beer collection for everything from Belgian cherry beers to juicy modern fruit-infused brews.

Explore Sour Ales & Craft Sour Beer

Our collection includes a changing selection of sour ale beers and sour craft beer from innovative breweries in the UK and around the world.

Expect everything from light and refreshing sours to richer, fruit-forward beers and more complex styles inspired by traditional sour brewing.

Whether you prefer something subtle and zesty or a bold sour packed with flavour, there's plenty to discover.

Fruit Sour Beer

Fruit and sour beer are a natural match.

Our range of fruit sour beer can feature flavours including raspberry, cherry, strawberry, citrus and tropical fruits, producing refreshing beers with a distinctive sweet-and-sour character.

Perfect served chilled, fruit sours are a great choice if you're looking for something different from a traditional lager, IPA or pale ale.

If you normally enjoy hop-forward beer but want to try something more tart and fruit-driven, browse our IPA Beer collection alongside our sour range and discover the difference between juicy hops and refreshing acidity.

Belgian Sour Beer & Traditional Sour Styles

Belgium has played an important role in the development of many traditional sour and fruit beer styles.

Belgian brewing traditions include tart, fruity and complex beers that can feature cherries, raspberries and other fruits alongside distinctive fermentation character.

These beers can range from sharp and refreshing to rich, complex and subtly funky.
