Description
Wide Street Brewing Company specialises in mixed fermentation methods and 100% Brettanomyces beers. Our vision is to brew innovative beers with alternative fermentation methods. Our house yeast is a custom blend of Brettanomyces, saccharomyces and lactobacillus strains from Bootleg Biology, a yeast laboratory based in Nashville, USA. This gives our beer a distinctive dry mouthfeel and enhanced fruity flavours. We have released many unique styles of beers since we started in May 2019 such as saisons, grisettes and table beers as well as mixed fermentation aged sour beers. We also love experimenting with new hops and brewing styles and have recently released Farmhouse Pilsner and a Cashmere IPA with no Brettanomyces in them

Can at home, from Craft Beer Central.ie, 09/05/24. Almost clear light golden blonde topped with a well presented lasting white head. Nose is mellow yeast esters, grass, herb, gooseberries, light funk, Nelson hop well evident, lemon rind. Taste comprises grass, hedgerow, lemon rind, light green berry nip, dusty hop bite. Lighter end of medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spattered with mellow Nelson laden hop bitterness. All about the nose this one ... great Nelson waftings ... taste comes down a notch but a very serviceable and crushable saison.

I’m a sucker for a good Brett! Warm and funky, more Brett than IPA. But still def a mild Brett.
