Description
Pastore Brewing and Blending produce fresh and aged sour and wild beers.
The fresh series looks at accessible, fun, modern takes on mix-ferm brewing, utilising Kveik and Lactobacillus co-fermentation in fruited Waterbeach Weisses, Sour IPAs and Pastry Sours.
The cellar series is built around our house (mother) culture of Brettanomyces and lactic acid bacteria. We blend with different bases to produce an exciting range of aged wild ales, some in stainless steel and some as part of an extensive barrel program and blendery. Many of these beers are blended on fresh fruit in season.

Draught keg at That Beer Place, Chester. Magenta or maybe a shade lighter, a little translucent with a ring of pink head. Big Vimto hit: lots of blackcurrant, red grape, a little raspberry on the nose. The similarity to a soft drink ends when I taste it, it's got a pleasing sourness with big berry flavour. Short finish. Light to medium body, not that much carbonation to cling to. Impressive recipe.

Not terrible, maybe a little lazy. Some caramel melt, vague bitterness. Toasted grass, orange peel. Bready malts. Not very cohesive, but just about drinkable.
