In 2017, we set out to create a spontaneously fermented beer. Inoculated in two stainless steel vats overnight, the wort cooled down naturally. After two years of fermentation and maturation in oak wine barrels, 3 were carefully chosen, alongside a barrel of 18-month-old Coolship to make our first ever 100% Coolshipped beer!
This beer is naturally cooled in shallow stainless steel vats, borrowed from our neighbours at Westcombe Dairy. They were previously used for making their cheese curds and it’s very fitting given that our barrel library is in an ex-cheddar store. For a brewery like us that celebrates local terroir, a completely spontaneous beer was the dream

Bottle shared in London - massive thanks to Danny. Pours lightly hazy golden orange with a frothy, pure white head. Solid lambic, good funk, nips of grass, lemon, pale wood. Medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Tart finish, moderate acidity, some pleasant grassy bitterness. Solid from top to bottom. Impressive.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to Dan. Hazy gold beer, no real head. Thin palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Tart orange and lemon, slightly acidic. Tangy minerals and wet wood. Ripe citric peel finish. Not bad but for me, hard to excited about.
