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.

(Draught at BrewDog Mitte, Berlin, 22 July 2018) Hazy amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, sourish nose with notes of raspberries, lemon and red fruit. Fruity, tart taste with raspberries, citrus, hints of white peppercorns and a dry, fresh acidity in a finish with low bitterness (if any). Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and fresh, with a good raspberry character. Nice one.
