What I like about this type of dark wheat beer is the sort of toffeeish maltiness from the dark beer, and the slightly crisp, sharp acidity – a bit like apples – from the wheat beer, is a bit like having a liquid toffee apple. The acidity that comes out from the fruitiness in the beer cuts the fat in a down home meal like sausage, egg and chips. It works pretty well, I say do try this at home...

I’ve always had difficulty figuring out a style name for those brownish-red sweet and sour beers that they make in West Flanders. And a brewery has come to my rescue – they have made a beer that is just called sweet and sour beer. In Flemish it’s called Zoetsuur, which has a nice rhythm to it. You might think a sweet and sour beer would be for drinking with Chinese food. I might give that a try. I certainly love these sweet and sour beers with pickled herring, but beer and food is getting more eclectic all the time.
