[Dorst]

Some interesting news: the BJCP has announced their the first update to the beer style guide lines since 2015.

They classify it as minor revision but it does seem to touch quite some styles. Biggest changes seem to be that they expanded their sour and sweetened sections.

The actual document is not yet available but I'm curious what has changed. Perhaps we can use this thread to point out changes?

Interesting.

For anyone else who had never heard of Catharina Sour, here's a BYO article with some information and a recipe. Sounds very refreshing.

It’s basically a stronger, fruited Berliner Weisse. I did a raspberry one during the very first lockdown when I actually had time to kettle sour, and my brew after next is going to be one to try out the Philly Sour yeast. Not decided on the fruit yet, but I used one of the cocktail purées last time and it worked very well.
