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.

On tap at Brewdog Birmingham, pours a deep dark cherry brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is full of intense brett funk, intense wood, and subdued tart cherries. Flavour is not landing right — there's lots of Worcestershire sauce, followed sour cherries, wood, and funk. The balance and integration aren't great. Sour, acetic and harsh. Not so good.

Draught at Beer & Beyond, almost no head, muddy dark orange to brown, color, aroma of malt vinegar and acetone, aroma of fruit vinegar, ripe banana, a bit of acetone and brown bread, quite strong and just a touch lactic sourness. Nice, just a bit difficult to drink.

On tap at Brewdog - Merchant City (Glasgow), pours an opaque muddled peachy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle lacto, tart peaches, and strawberry, with a bit of earthy rhubarb. Flavour is dry, tart and fruity, with tart rhubarb, strawberry and lacto. Nothing complex here but it's clean, bright and fruity. Decent.
