Haven't had a gose yet, but totally agree on the radlers. The fruit in beer has gone too far!

[LGR4GM]

Raddler is only half beer. It is literally half beer, half juice. I don't even consider it beer.

Neither do I, but I know more people than I'd care to admit who disagree. Anywho, I dislike them regardless of classification.

[sabills]

I pretty much agree with you.  That said, on a hot day it's really good.

yeah, and I like them better than shandys

I kind of want to now. It's sort of like a movie that everyone says is terrible, isn't there a little part of you that is enticed by that?

Godspeed.

 

I recommend having legit cajun sausage on hand to erase the taste.

Sure. Or any number of others.

It can't be any worse than this healthy vegetable drink I was force fed last week that tasted like melted celery.

Do not underestimate the power of Gose. #coriandersweat

Gose are good. Depends on the gose. They have a salty finish though.

You're a good man.

 

Don't buy that lie. You won't lose your beer snob cred if you admit you'd rather not drink Gose. Do it. You'll feel better.

 

Plus, you won't have to drink that fermented sweat.

[LGR4GM]

I think IPAs are overrated and I've had some bad gose but the style in general is fine for summer. Summer shandys are fine too. It's all about taste. I won't order a gose when I go out typically because they are salty. Rather have something like a blonde ale or wheat in the summer. That said terrapin's watermelon gose is really good and I do enjoy it.

[That Aud Smell]

There is no good Gose.

 

There are only proud beer geeks saying there are serviceable Gose out there.

[LGR4GM]

Got it, you dislike gose. That's fine.

[That Aud Smell]

Got it, you dislike gose. That's fine.

And I also like needling those who say they do.

The rub of it is, for me, I am now going to hafta try that damn watermelon Gose.

[Claude_Verret]

Anderson Valley blood orange gose is damn good.

That's been coming for awhile now. They already owned part of Terrapin. Terrapin's Gose is one of the few beers they make I really enjoy. Their are other craft breweries in Georgia I like more. Everything from Burnt Hickory I have ever had has been good.

Is there a major regional craft brewery that hasn't sold all or a chunk of its equity interests to Big Beer?

There are less and less of them. It helps them to expand and also to add new markets.
