Description
Last beer was released in July 2021 and common consensus is that this is the year the brewery should be set as closed.

Do note that due to the nature of the beers produced both BrewDog and other online retailers continued to sell the beers for many years after the closure.

Dedicated to exploring and pushing the boundaries of what is possible with fermentation, we are on a quest to redefine Wild and Sour beers, forever. With a purpose-built facility where craft and nature find harmony, we utilise wild yeasts and microbes from our environment and ingredients sourced from all around the world.

0.33 l bottle thanks to little Dina, shared with Marko and her. Hazy pale orange, pinkish hue, minimal head. Aroma is intensely fruity, apricot, pomegranate, funky. A touch of lacquer and glue. Vague notes of hibiscus if you look for them. Flavour is sour orange with hibiscus, also stone fruit. Intense sourness, bitter phenols, thin body.

Draught. Hazy yellow colour with a small white head. Aroma is tart fruits, some wood, mild lactose, a bi acidity and some cooked vegetables. Flavour is pretty much the same as the aroma, but has some strange elements to it as well. Not that pleasant.

Draught (had as Blostma & Blede). Golden colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity, some mild nectar and a bit acidic. Flavour is tart wood, some peach, passionfruit and some slight bretty tones. Good sipper, but will get hard on the stomach with it's acidity if drunk fast.
