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 from Candy & Liquor, Birmingham. New brewery for me. Vibrant orange, brief fizz, some retention around the edges. Aroma of buckthorn, coconut creaminess, light funk. Taste is sour without being overbearing, flavours of buckthorn, coconut, mango, vanilla, yeast. Medium to full bodied. Sweet tangy middle and then a drying bitterness. Good.

Keg at Gidea Pk tap house. Hazy orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Thinnish malts, a thin creamy sweetness. Obvious vanilla sweetness offsets some tart citrus. A little acetic burn, mild mango. Light crisp finish. A decent sweet and sour brew, just a bit aggressive on the acetic side.
