Cheers to the St. Louis debut of the Old World sour, Rodenbach Grand Cru. This beauty blends a young beer with a two-year foedre-aged sour red ale. The older beer adds depth and complexity, while the younger brings brightness and tenacity. Look for a mild acetic note paired with flavors of wood, grain and cherry, rounded out with delicate berry sweetness. $15. Available at The Wine and Cheese Place.
