Spontaneously Fermenting Yeast + Pale + Sour
Fermented with a locally harvested culture of yeasts and bacteria from the orchards that Somerset is famous for.
The wet climate of Somerset is perfect for the orchards and pastures that are the lifeblood of our area, they are also perfect conditions for the yeasts, bugs and critters that we need to make a unique sour beer.
Somerset Wild is a beer that shows how much we love working with our environment and the seasons to produce idiosyncratic beers that leave you questioning your perceptions. A beer with the acidity levels of a white wine or farmhouse cider, with a depth, complexity and refreshing drinkability to it that makes it a wonderful beer to pair with food.
This is a magic beer to enjoy with fish, particularly oily fish such as mackerel or sardines, caught off the south-west coast, or even better why not try it with a ceviche. The acidity of the beer will work as the perfect accompaniment.

Keg at BrewDog, Leicester. The colour of cream soda, hazy with a bit of white head and lots of lacing. Fruity aroma with the sharpness of lactic sour. Posset, lemon yoghurt. Sharp sour taste, some hard citrus with a bit of bile. More citrus/milky sour on the finish. Well-carbonated body. A bit messy, but an honest and enjoyable Berliner which doesn’t try to mask the sourness with oodles of fruit.
