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!

Black beer, thick brown foam but quickly falling. Smell of cocoa and bitter chocolate, orange in the background. Taste similar to aroma. Dark chocolate, bitter orange, toasted malt. Decent body with a bit of alcohol warmth. Very pleasant.

Can from Great Grog. Pours hazy gold with a thick off-white head. Aroma of citrus, pale malt, black pepper. Taste has caramel, pithy orange and spice. Not getting any pine or resin vibes I'd expect from a westie. Not very bitter either. OK.

Draught keg at the Hole in the Wall, Brighton. Lightish gold and a little hazy with a small uneven white head. Some light funk, lime, kumquat. Gentle sour taste with lashings of hard citrus which hits through toothed lingerie finish. More lime and possibly some pineapple in the aftertaste. Pretty good if a tiny bit tame.
