The Blend is an expression of what we do and why we do it. This is a celebration of our love affair with wild yeast, sour beers, slow maturation, barrel-ageing and blending.
Inspired by Belgian Gueuze-style beers, we have blended together carefully selected sour beers from our barrel library, and used all of our experiences from the last five years to create the 2017 vintage.
We put a 10 year best before date on our bottles as the wild yeasts will continue to age this blend adding complexity and depth. Nobody knows what it will taste like in 10 years time or how long it will be age for after that so buy one to drink now and one to get dusty on your top shelf!

Backlog September 2019. Bottle. Clear golden body with a medium sized white head. Mild bur very pleasant and elegant aroma, funky, acidic, wood and grapes. Taste in the same direction, soft, mild and elegant, mild funk, sightly acidic fruit, pleasant wood and slightly bitter. Fine body, long lasting aftertaste. Really nice and tasty without any boldness.
