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.

Sour and tart, lots of red raspberries and a good amount of strawberry, which doean't taste half bad. A bit one-dimensional but very nice.

Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Can states this is Rhubarb, Peach, Strawberry as per the pic above. Just gonna venture a guess that Ashton had this beer, but BD had labelled it up wrong. BD Sheffield do shit like that often. Deep, peachy orange colour, with a thin, creamy swirl of white head. Looks the beans. Nose has rhubarb and strawberry crumble and custard. Taste is sweet and tart with a creamy, medium body. Fine carbonation. Tart fruit to finish. Great stuff. Nailed it.

0.44 l can from 't Biermenneke at 3.7% abv, canned in September 2020. Hazy, straw yellow with a large, foamy, stable, white head. Intensely sourish, citric, quite fruity aroma of lemon, peach, apricot and rhubarb. Quite sour, fruity, rather citric taste of lemon, rhubarb, some apricot and a touch of peach, followed by a medium long, fairly tart, rather dry finish. Thin to medium body, smooth, quite astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Extremely refreshing, nicely fruity Berliner Weisse, quite citric but not too sour. Quite good, would be a perfect summer beer.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Premier Hop. Pours deep brown with a frothy, beige head. Great beer, nice depth. Moderate sweetness, dark malts, tart lemon, cherry, mild cocoa, ashy roast, woody dryness, sturdy acidity. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Alright balance in the finish, more ashy roast, bitter cocoa accents, more tangy dried dark fruits, leather, earth. Solid.

Bottle. Color: Hazy purplish red, very thin off-white head. Aroma: Tart and sweet red fruit like strawberry and raspberry. Taste: Over moderate tart, some medium tart vinegar-like notes, fruity red fruit (raspberry, cherry) and citrus notes. Light to moderate sweetness. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Indeed not that complex, but overall pretty nice.
