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 the BrewDog AGM 2018. It pours hazy red - purple with a tiny white head. The aroma is earthy, musty, cherry skin, barnyard, must, chalky and maripzan. The taste is dry, bitter, tannic, earthy, cherry, sweet, tangy, chalky, grainy, old tiles, terracotta, earth must, jammy and barnyard action with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Bizarre, yet fun stuff. Could be a bit more drinkable mind you.

Taste comprises sharp citric zest, light acidity, vinous, balsa wood, light barnyard esters, sharp green berry skins. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced puckering climax. Decent .... plenty going on.

Keg at BD Tower Hill, 29/05/18. Light haze on a pale golden pour with a white head. Nose is modest funk, grains, damp straw, lemon rind, musty wood. Taste comprises funky rhubarb leaf, barnyard tones, damp hay, light balsa wood, mellow acidity. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light shimmy of a pucker. Ok mellow sour but not really blowing me away especially at the price point.

1/3 glass draft @ BrewDog Brussels. Citrus sorbet hazy small white bubbles. Nose is low lacot, poor, watery, ice water with weak pear. Taste is strange weak bit watery ice tea, camomile, barely any lacto, herbal lemon, weak, watery, some very minor funk. Overall passable but as too much BrewDog overprized and subpar, fruit is barely there and I didn’t get vanilla at all or wine really.
