Abt 12 is excellent, but I've always liked Rochefort 10 just a bit better.

I've had a lot of Prairie lately, and they tend to rely very heavily on adjuncts. Their ales are really good, but I can't imagine drinking a whole bomber of any one of their barrel aged beers like I could with a Central Waters.

Can't get enough of this bad boy

Saint bon'ch !

I'm an idiot and I misread your post, and thought you were asking about the defining characteristics. Sorry. But as for how to identify them, well, you have some options. The most obvious one is to ask the clerk at the bottle shop for recommendations on wild ales, and specify that you aren't interested in kettle sours. You could also just seek out brewers that almost exclusively do wild-type fermentations. It's more common than you think, due to the hard-to-control nature of the process. third, there are some styles that are defined by their wild fermentations, the most obvious example being belgian lambics.

What's job security like in the industry? With the metric tons of new craft breweries opening up in recent times and all the acquisitions of larger breweries by larger corporations, what's your impression of how things are going to go in the future?
