Description
Holy Goat is a Dundee based brewery specialising in the production of mixed- fermentation and wood aged beers.

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!

Can via the online shop. Slick pour sits black. Thick plump tan swede. Leggy and lacing too. Nose has liquorice root. Tangy malts. Herby woody notes. Bitter dark chocolate. Taste is extremely sweet to start with a tangy bitterness. Slick and slightly heavy on the palate. Sweetness is thankfully balanced out on the finish with the tangy bitterness. Decent sipper but overall it’s disjointed. Heavy but twangy. Looks boss, mind.
