Beard Science Sour House—Where the Beers are Sour, but Times are Sweet!

While Beard Science is pouring up diabolically delicious sour beers, everyone knows you’re only as good as your Brew Boss. Enter Dennis Wehrman, our resident mad scientist (it’s a working title). Hailing from Germany and born to brew (literally, he’s a fifth-generation brewmaster), Dennis has been in the brewing business since he was a pint-size six-year-old. He ultimately went on to complete brewing school, apprenticeships, brewpub management and even has a master’s degree in brewing. That’s real, kids. Look it up. Though he’s the guy behind our beers, Dennis is also the kind of guy you’d wanna have a beer with.

Why Sour Beers?

When the opportunity came to pour his energy into sour beers, he embraced it with open arms. “Turns out, it’s a lot of fun. It’s a little bit of a playground for me.” But what makes sour beer different than any other brewing process? Dennis will tell you every time: the ultimate key to any sour beer—bacteria. “Sour beers are very complex. You can do it in a controlled manner…you add bacterias and you’re infecting the beer on purpose. That’s what we call a kettle sour.” Then there’s a walk on the wild side: the uncontrolled sours. “Wild yeast and wild bacterias do the job for you during the fermentation process. It takes a long time to fine tune the flavor profiles, but that’s what makes it interesting.”

Just another day at the office, am I right?
