Mixed fermentation refers to the use of unconventional yeasts and bacteria in brewing, which allows production of beers with unique character. We are driven by experimentation and are obsessed with the awesome flavours which can be achieved from mixed-culture fermentations.
Inspired by tradition mixed fermentation beer styles we seek to pay hommage to our brewing forbears, using new techniques, fermentation styles and the highest quality ingredients to produce complex, interesting and (most importantly) tasty beer!
The breweries name references the tongue-in-cheek description of the ‘goat’ like qualities of wild yeast (Brettanomyces) characteristics. A reverence to this yeast and to the beers which display these characteristics is a strong part of the identity of the brewery.
Hail the goat!

Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from HOTM. Pours mostly clear honey-gold with a modest, foamy white head. Lightly sweet with a bit of throwback acetic twang, lemony bite, subtle funk, white grape, old wood. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Pretty clean to finish, nicely rounded, modest citric acidity, balanced sweetness. Good stuff overall.
