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.

Bottle, almost no head, opaque pitch brown colour, aroma of vanila, vinous and toasted notes and some dark fruits behind, hint of spice and acetone, flavor of dark fruits, vanila, some chocolate and hints of umami and dark bread behind a medium piercing fruity sourness and bit of prune sweetness. Really really good.

Bottle, at Nærbø Ølfestival. It's a clear, dark golden colored beer with close to no head or carbonation. The aromas is yoghurty and fruitysourish, with a faint note of vinegar. Not much cherry going on, nor vinousity. It's dry and acidic on the palate, with a very fruity flavor. More generic fruityness and berry-ish than specifically cherry and red grapes vinousity. Some vinegar and wood too, and a really lasting finish. Rather dull and one dimensional this one, pretty uninteresting. 191005

Trocken säuerlicher Beginn. Quasi kein Hopfenaroma, getreidig, die Säure nimmt leicht aber konstant ab. Zitrus, trocken - also eigentlich wie beschrieben. 7/9/8/8/7/8

Bottle from Brewdog Lothian Road Appearance - opaque black with a quickly disappearing tan head. Nose - tar, burnt wood, molasses and a hint of soy sauce. Taste - some chocolate but mainly molasses, brown sugar and black rice vinegar. Palate - medium bodied with both sour and sweet through middle and finish. Persistent finish. Overall - complex, a little gnarly but very good.

Unclear orange golden body under a small white head. Aroma is quite acidic with red berries, wood and funk. Taste is acidic as well with red berries, oak and funk. A bit one-dimensional and feels way too acidic in the start but everything improves about hallway through the bottle and specially accompanied with some salty snack. Not super complex but more than decent.
