Anybody ever done or heard of anyone doing something like this? There seem to be more than just a few examples of mint and tart in the culinary and cocktail world, but I’m wondering how it would translate into a sour beer. That said, I’m sure some of you have used mint or mint extract in a beer before. Care to share your experiences? Amounts used and in what kind of recipe type of information would obviously be great, too.

Ever brush your teeth and then drink orange juice?

Exactly. Eating a warhead, eating anything with vinegar, or acidity in general is the last thing I think about after I’ve brushed my teeth.

I am kind of thinking you could pull off a mojito sour. I am also glad I’m not the one trying it.

I have brewed a saison with lemongrass, ginger, and mint, but never soured it.
