Kriek style sour beer with Frederiksdal cherries
Inspired by the Belgian kriek style sour beer aged on whole sour cherries. This beer combines a blend of two of our favourite golden sour base beers, both brewed with local Scottish barley, wheat and oats, and fermented with multiple Brettanomyces and bacteria strains.
We aged this base beer for two months on over 450kg of whole ‘Stevnsbær’ sour cherries, sourced from the orchards on the Frederiksdal estate, used to produce award-winning Danish cherry wine. One of the rarest, most intensely flavourful cherries attainable, and one of our favourites to work with.

Tap at BPBW 2025. Misty purple body, off-white to pink head. Cherries leaning on hibiscus even dominate the aroma, bit citric and funky. Big cherry, berry, hibiscus notes in the smooth, pleasant taste, lean and dry. Good one!

Bottle from Drinkmonger. Deep ruby body with a pink head that holds well. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of sour cherries, glazed cherries and rhubarb. Flavour of tart cherries and funky yeast. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. This is delicious - an explosion of intense cherry flavour. I’m really enjoying Holy Goat’s beers.
