Pastore Brewing and Blending
Microbrewery in Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, England 🏴
Established in 2019
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 at home in Hackney - sourced from the Trembling Madness online. Pours unclear dull gold with a small, frothy white head. Not bad overall, has some decent citric bite, moderate acidity, lemon zest, piney bitterness, grapefruit pith. Medium bodied with delicate, massaging carbonation. Quenching finish, more pine needles, zesty citrus fruits, lime and lemon. Good stuff overall.

440ml can. Glowing unclear orange appearance with good white head. Interesting layered complex kveik overall.. hornindal strain is prominent but could be more harmonious with the lacto. Still, nice fruity sipper with an easy-going sour edge.
Bottle from RAD beer. Hazy to cloudy reddish purple with a thin head. Aroma and tart are tart raspberry fruity yeasty. Medium body. The

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from the Trembling Madness online. Pours almost entirely clear, honey-gold, with a foamy white head that settles into a cream. Excellent beer, lightly sweet, with moderate tartness, some citric bite, mellow funk, straw, salt, lemon. Light bodied with moderate, massaging carbonation. Clean finish, fairly dry, with quenching acidity, more lemony tartness. Exceptional.

375ml bottle. Hazed deep blood red, thin sheet of cream-coloured foam atop. Aroma brings some nice raspberry jam, framboise sour. Taste is crisp and a nice gentle acidity and settled sour presence.. some lovely jammy raspberry notes. Wouldn't necessarily label it an oud bruin in a blind tasting, but there's a pleasant wild sweetness running through. Very refreshing.

440ml can. Vivid mango orange looks, zero head. Light mango on the nose. Crisp, light and super dry in character with pleasant mango, but not quite as much as expected given the hazy vivid orange appearance. Still, refreshing and nicely fruity.
