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.

Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Gave the can a swirl before opening. Hazed, pale straw gold. Thick and fairly dense, bright white head. Looks well. Nose has passion fruit purée. Tart yogurt. Mineral. Taste is tart and a little dry, with a pleasant fruity sweetness. Sharp and very refreshing on the palate. Light body. Burp inducing carbonation. Sharp fruit finish. Perfect first beer of the evening.

440ml can. Massive amounts of mango, some salty sourness, lactic notes, hints of farmyard, tartness and yeastiness. Nice balance of fruitiness, sourness and saltness

Bottle, 375 ml at Miro B's Grande tasting. Shared with him, Max and JFK10000. Hazy orange with small white head. Nice strawberry aroma and taste. Medium sourness. Juicy.

Bottle. Xmas gift from the missus. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Mostly clear pale gold. Halo of white. Nose has sweet grain. Oats. Apricot preserve. Some sweaty, milky funk. Taste is dry and light bitter, with some acidic bite. Light body verges on watery. Fine carbonation. Tart and dry finish. Not too much happening here, and any apricot is lost on me.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Premier Hop. Pours clear gold with a bubbly head that fades out quickly - a bit lacking in condition. Light sweet flavour, somewhat funky, a little drying oak, white grape, tangerine, a whisper of vanilla. Medium bodied, soft, just perceptions of faint carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, some white wine aspects, light dryness, biscuits, salt, lemony tang. Tasty, enjoyable.
