Description
Ancient Beer, Modern Method.

Fermenting since 2014 with only wild brattleboro mixed culture yeast. continually pushing boundaries of new sour beer. brewhouse fueled by wood, not fossils.

To truly understand terroir and wild yeast, a brewer must come to terms with the type of beer that “wants to be made” in their region. We are proud of Brattleboro’s wild yeast for its balance, its stone fruit and pecan character, and how dry and effervescent it leaves the beer. We are grateful to our region’s farms for the availability of world class hops and fruits, as well as to our area distilleries for unique and beautiful oak barrel flavor histories.

We delight in making beer that could only be made in our place, with our team, supported by our community and environment.

Can from BrewDog Online. It pours clear amber with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is fragrant, funky, definite gin character, orange peel, peppery juniper, oak, vanilla, funk and earth. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, bright acidic bite, sherbert, zingy, G&T, orange peel, tangerine, vinous, white graoe, fragrant, spicy, floral, funk, earth, sherbet and oak with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Rather fun stuff. Perhaps a touch acidic, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Can via BrewDog. It pours hazy orangey - amber with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is funky, tart, vinous, blackcurrant, bramble, sherbet, jammy, sour candy, birscher museli and berry yoghurt. The taste is crisp, dry, tart up-front, puckering, sherbert, sour candy, vinous, jammy berry, grapeskin, bramble, blueberry, tannin, wood, funky and a touch of minerality with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Bright and puckering with some nice fruity, vinous vibes. Nice stuff!
