If one of your weekend tasks is to fill a tub with adult beverages that please the masses, you need to know about lambic beers. I'll spare you the Beer Geek ramblings about how this is a Belgian beer brewed with wild fermentation, and just tell you what you really want to know. Lambics are fruity and low in bitterness, and often taste quite a bit like hard ciders. These beers can be easy to drink for people who shy away from beer, and make excellent additions to a craft beer cocktail. If you have a white wine-drinking friend who swears she doesn't like beer, serve her a lambic and she may just change her tune.
