Gose is a sour, salty wheat beer from the area around Lepzig in Germany. With a tradition dating back to the 16th century, the style all but died out in the 20th century due to the growth in popularity of pilsner lagers and two world wars.

The style was revived in 1980 by a Lepzig bar owner and has made a major come back, now being a popular style for craft brewers to experiment in.
