La Folie - New Belgium Brewing

New Belgium practically wrote the book on mixed fermentation barrel aged sours in the US when they first introduced La Folie in 1997. Former New Belgium Brewmaster, Peter Bouckaert brought his knowledge of the style from Belgium’s Rodenbach Brewery to create a beautiful sour brown ale blend that marries the perfect tart kiss with rich notes of green apple, plum, and cocoa. While it was a pioneer in the field, it still remains the gold standard to this day.
