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.

Pours unclear yellow, medium sized white head. Scent is full, passion fruit, intensely so. Taste is full, tart, PF, very dry, bit funky, malty. Nice. Doesn't seem as simple in it's sourness as most other examples of this type of beer. Easy drinker, fairly complex.

18/6/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours super deep maroon with a frothy pink coloured head. Aroma of blueberry, citrus, vanilla, dusty musty edge. Moderate sweetness and medium sour. Moderate body, slight watery texture, fizzy carbonation. Not my favourite from Pastore but still nicely drinkable.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 15/06/21. Rich blackcurrant red pour with a good sized crimson head. Nose is big on berry fruits, blackcurrant, raspberry pips, hay bale, blueberry yoghurt. Taste comprises sharp berry fruits, tangy blueberry yoghurt, cherry stones, light acidic bimble, lemon rind, hint of funk. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a puckering climax. Decent enough sour ... how does can to panda rise a rating so much !?!
