Other terms have been used by brewers and can refer to different things or have different definitions depending on who you're talking to. For example, the term '''wild beer''' is used by some to refer to spontaneously fermented beer, and others to refer to any sour beer or funky beer that isn't kettle soured.
===Resources===
Before getting started making a sour beer, we recommend reading these resources:
* This wiki! Specifically, these pages: [[FAQ]], [[Mixed Fermentation]], [[Wort Souring]], [[Mixed Cultures]], [[Alternative Bacteria Sources]], [[Lactobacillus]], and [[Brettanomyces]].
* The book "American Sour Beers: Innovative Techniques for Mixed Fermentations," by Michael Tonsmeire.
