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!

440 ml can. Pours a hazy dark brown with moderate tan head. Aromas of powdery chocolate, dry roasted malts and dark creamy berries. Flavors of roasted malts, creamy coffee and earthy plums. The plums are pretty subtle but really make the beer. Very good.

Bottle via the online shop. Hazed deep pink. Slim pink head. Kettle sour vibe here with a ton of dessert cherries. A bit wheaty. Tart and sour overall. Pretty acidic. Dry tart acidic finish. Not this brewers finest. I mean it’s definitely full of cherry tartness, but this isn’t offering anything memorable.
