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.

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.

375ml bottle. Misty gold appearance, thin pure white head. Lovely barnyard funk on the nose, fruity, floral, yeasty. Taste builds on this more, noticeably sweet, soft on the palate with a very low bitterness. Nice wild character.

Sample thanks to Grumbo: Poured hazy orange yellow with fluffy white head. Aroma is tart sour citrus fruit, zesty to the nose. Taste is super biter, acidic, grapefruit, citrus, pucker up the lips.

5/4/2020. Can from Utobeer, Borough Market. Pours cloudy/murky mustard orange gold with a small white head. Aroma is tart and acidic, citrus and sour tropical, yeasty with light herb and hop. Heavy sour, light sweetness with nice citrus bitters. Medium body, creamy texture, bit on the fizzy side. Tart finish, with a light milky sweetness. Enjoyed this.

Danke an minutemat. Deutlich saurer Beginn. Trocken, fruchtig-hopfig, die Säure steigt noch etwas an. Vollmundig herb-säuerlicher Mittelteil, weiterhin trocken, Limette, etwas Mandarine. Langer Nachgeschmack. 7/10/11/11/9/11

440ml can. Hazy golden orange, white head. Aroma of tropical and citrus fruits. Taste is sour and tart citrus, grapefruit, lemon and lime, pineapple, very zingy. Medium body. Great sour IPA that doesn't rely on fruit adjuncts.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours clear deep honey-gold with a lingering, frothy white head. It’s a damn good oils, with crispy pale grains, biscuits, moderate bitter straw and light grass. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean mellow grassy bitterness in the finish, more biscuits pale malts, sun-kissed grains. Sound.

440ml can @ Chez Sophie. Pours a lightly misted golden orange, patchy white froth atop. Enticing nose with tropical citrus, seaweed, lime, pineapple, attributable to the hornindal kveik yeast I imagine. Quite a vibrant, spiky tropical fruit profile, good lime, pineapple, grapefruit presence with bristling sour citrus and light fruity funk. Good stuff.
