About
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.

Waterbeach Weisse - Blackcurrant from Pastore Brewing and Blending
5 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Medium, fine pink head over hazy darker flamingo beer. Sourish nose with berries, grapes, and other fine fruitaromas. Outspoken sour character; fruity, but also lactic. Wild yeast, ultra tart; again pink fruit. Dry-out effect, feels better carbonated than it looks, very refreshing. Outspoken sour - but likable in any case.

19th July 2021; Shrewsbury Beer Share in Chez Sophie, five of us splitting 16 different beers, t'was a good night! Thanks Mike for the 750ml bottle of this: BBE Mar 2024. Red hue to the hazy body, pink head. Fruity, grapey and semi-sour, thought it might be a cheek sucker inner, but it wasn't as tart or sour as I expected.

75cl bottle @ Free-Dumb tasting, Chez Sophie, July 21. Hazy pinkish red appearance. Light winey grapes on the nose, crisp, wild sour character, not coming across like a saison. More wine influence would be nice. Decent gently fruity mixed ferm beer overall.

Frutti di Bosco Acido from Pastore Brewing and Blending
5 years ago
6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 5.5
Can. An unclear candy-red beer with more or less no head. Lightly lemony acidic aroma with raspberry, lacotse, some blackcurrant and a faint bread dough touch. It's tart and acidic on the palate, medium bodied and pleasantly carbonated, with a berry-driven flavor. Lemon, lactose hints and some dough, all lasting for quite some time. Too much funkyness in one beer. And too much berries. 210717

Christ, a can of beer can do the rounds! This whole one was from Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours like port. Fine, deep pink head. Nose has a bit of a cherry pie thing. Blueberry yoghurt. Sweet lemon. Custard. Taste is tart and a little dry. Some vanilla sweetness on the lips. Bright and fresh and cleansing mouthfeel. Fine, brisk carbonation. Tart and bright berry fruit finish. Nice one.

Waterbeach Weisse - Passionfruit & Guava from Pastore Brewing and Blending
5 years ago
8.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9
22 June 2021. At Uiltje Taproom, Haarlem. Shared with the lovely Anke! Tap. Hazy yellow, small, frothy, white head. Fresh aroma of passionfruit, guava, yellow nectarine, papaya, lychee, Greek yoghurt. Taste has very fresh sour passionfruit flesh & guava, sweetish stonefruit, lactic and lime-like acid edges over doughy maltiness. Tart, yellow-fruity finish, juicy passionfruit along end-of-stonefruit. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation. Amazingly good and fresh, reminiscent of our encounter with the Zichovec Sour Passion Fruit 12. Damn son!

Taverna Pils Blanc from Pastore Brewing and Blending

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Can at home in Hackney - picked up via HOTM. Pours clear gold with a fading, foamy white head. Moderately sweet with notes of pale grains, a slight smoky off note, biscuits, white bread, straw, a slight chlorophenol note. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Finishes with further crispy grains, doughy biscuits. So so.
