This beer started life in March 2019, brewed with our long term friends at Thornbridge. A portion was released by them as Vicious Circle in 2020. The remainder was sent to us, aged further in our barrels, then blended with a mixed fermentation saison. A true representation of both breweries’ barrel ageing projects, we have come full circle.

Bottle from Bottle Grove. A stunning beer with barrel all around it. It is quite sharp and it is very much like a geuze but just some maturity lacking. But let's not kid here, this beer is a masterclass and very very pleased to get a beer like this!!
