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. Unclear reddish brown body under a small white head. Aroma of fresh cherry with hint of almond, lemon and slightly funky. Taste is moderate sweet with mild acidity, dominating cherry, hint of almond, funk and matured fruit. Balanced in taste, body and pleasant aftertaste. Not super complex, but well made and refreshing.

375ml bottle @ Free-Dumb tasting, Chez Sophie July 21. A good start to a particularly sour-heavy night. Apologies to Jeremy, though he soldiered through admirably. Super crisp, wild, funky fruity floral. Confidently acidic, bright and cutting through the heat nicely. Really good.

19th July 2021; Shrewsbury Beer Share in Chez Sophie, five of us splitting 16 different beers, t'was a good night! 1st beer of the evening, cheers Simon for the 37.5cl bottle of this (7% ABV); BB 30th Jun 2025. Hazy, dull golden body no head worthy of the name. Sour cooking apples came to mind as I sniffed and sipped this acidic brew.

Bottle from BD online. It pours purplish - red with a decent white head. The aroma is bright, zingy, juicy, tart, tangy, bright blueberry, blackberry jam, sherbet, then it gets really funky, barnyard, damp oak, wet leaves, hay, floral accents and refreshers. The taste is crisp, bone dry, tart, tangy, puckering, splash of acidity, zesty citrus vibes, sour blueberry, blackberry, granny smith apple, sherbet, refreshers, sour candy, wood, funk, touch of minerality, floral, hibiscus, juniper and a splash of red wine with a drying, puckering blueberry skin finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Best BD beer I've had in some time. Good depth and balance. Sour, funky and fruity. Very nice.

On draught at BrewDog Leicester. Deep red cour,clear with a ring if loose beige head. Slight aroma of wood, red berry, a bit of funk, a tiny bit of sarsaparilla. Taste is tart without being too sour, maybe a touch of soy sauce and a deep venous and tannic bitterness ushering in the finish. Slight body and low carbonation.
