International Gose Day celebrates the unique and historical Gose beer, a style that originated in Goslar, Germany.
The origins of Gose date back to the early 16th century in Goslar, a town rich in mineral springs. These natural springs significantly influence the beer's unique flavor. The style then gained popularity in Leipzig, evolving into a regional specialty. By the 18th century, Leipzig had become the epicenter of Gose production.
Unlike typical German beers that adhere to the Reinheitsgebot (German Beer Purity Law), Gose defies convention by incorporating coriander and salt into its brewing process. This inclusion, coupled with lactic acid bacteria, imparts a unique sourness and salinity.
The 20th century, however, saw a decline in Gose's popularity, nearly leading to its extinction. Only through the efforts of dedicated brewers and beer enthusiasts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries did the style see a resurgence, both in Germany and internationally.
International Gose Day, as a result, is more than just a celebration of a beer style; it's a recognition of the resilience and evolution of brewing traditions. Breweries worldwide participate by crafting their versions of Gose and organizing tastings and educational events to spread awareness about this historic beer.
The day is marked by enthusiasts sharing their experiences with Gose on social media, promoting a global appreciation of this unique style. It's a day for beer lovers to explore the complexities of Gose, understand its history, and celebrate the diversity and innovation within the brewing world. Celebration of this day began in 2016.
