Urban South Brewery releases fruit-heavy sours and hard seltzers, new IPAs and more as pandemic restrictions limit taproom offerings
Urban South Brewery has released many new beers during the pandemic
According to the nola
Urban South Brewery recently released the first beers in a line of fruit-packed sours in flavors that sound more like popsicles. There's a watermelon-strawberry brew and a mango-banana-passionfruit.
The beers were developed by Urban South's Houston brewmaster, and they're among a host of new releases being offered by the taproom at Urban South, which had to discontinue some offerings due to the pandemic restrictions imposed by the city on Saturday, July 25.
The new fruity beers are part of the brewery's "spilled" series, which employ much more fruit, and even fruit pulp, than a normal sour beer. Many in the series also have higher alcohol levels, at 7% to 8%, than typical sours. And while they're not without tart elements, they're sweet for beers, and thicker bodied from the fruit content. Urban South's Houston brewermaster David Ohmer started the series there in March, and the New Orleans location recently introduced them, currently available in 16-ounce crowlers.
