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.

A good and fair sour beer, a bit rough at the beginning, perfect with the food on the balcony and it was welcomed with this hot weather and a generous note of passion fruit and a fair sourness, trying it on thursday at Epalinges, 21.05.2022

Best before 04/24, opening this bottle yesterday, at Epalinges, pizza and this sour beer were a good union, this one is really dry, mineral, sour, dry malt, subtle and generous touch of raspberry, classic bitterness, yeasty, refreshing.
