There is really only one place in Australia doing it the old fashioned way, a small brewery in Tasmania called the Two Metre Tall Farmhouse. Owner Ashley Huntington describes his ales and naturally fermented sour beer as wild. He spent nine years trying to recreate these very much alive beers of old without much success, but science and palates are catching up with him. The products Huntington makes come from a variety of home grown grains like barley and he said they are much more complex than wine. "The fermentation in grapes comes from a simple sugar, while the fermentation that occurs in grain mixtures makes that look like a stroll in the park on a Sunday afternoon with remarkably complex fermentations, fuelled by multiple species of yeast and bacteria." I don't know if this helps, but it's sad to think of someone who can't have a beer occasionally. Cheers, Alan S Thanks Alan And you can get the beer online. 2mt.com.au/I'll give it a try when I get back to Oz next week.

I like a dark ale like Newcastle Brown, etc. Please tell me what you think of this one. Cheers, Alan
