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.

Keg at Overworks. It pours cloudy golden with a decent white head. The aroma is quite fragrant, musty, definite quince, prickly pear, pear skin and greengage. The taste is crisp, dry, just a touch of bitterness, tart, musty, pear skin, quince, zingy, sherbet, minerality, touch of acidity, lemon peel, funk and dry wood. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice quince character. Fun edition of the crush.
