We’ve teamed up with local tea mixologists, Bird & Blend to bring both worlds of brewing together in this collaboration. Using our knowledge of beer & their knowledge of tea we've created something exciting with a real fusion between both brewing worlds!
The concept was to create a hybrid beer based on Bird & Blends popular "Blue Raspberry Tea" blend.
Starting with a Berliner Weisse malt base and using experimental hop "HBC 630" which gives sweet berry-like characters of raspberry & cherries which we then backed up with 400KG of fresh Raspberries to build on the depth of flavour, aroma and vibrant colour.
Expect a refreshing and tart 5.2% Sour with a tea twist. Tangy berries & rose petals on the nose. Full-bodied Raspberry with a slight sweetness followed by subtle herbal and floral notes from the tea blend.

Can at home. Pours ruby-ish with a weird, purple hue. Nose is raspberry with a quite vague tea hint. Taste is that of a raspberry sour - the fruit and some lactic notes. Light bodied with soft carbo. The tea isn’t quite there so it’s basically a raspberry sour - and rather mediocre and uninteresting at that. I can imagine it’s not this forgettable when in better shape.
