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.

500ml bottle [Minimal gusher]. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish golden colour with average to huge, frothy, diminishing, minimally lacing, white head. Bretty, funky, floral and herbal-grassy aroma, moderate brett flavours, some brine, mustard seed, fresh hay, petals, a touch of fermented honey, pollen, whiffs of melon. Taste is dry, tart-ish, yeasty funky, mildly bretty, slightly floral, grassy and herbal spicy, tangy, hints of brine, mustard seed, fresh hay, apricot, melon; lingering, dry, minimally waxy and soapy, finish. Watery texture, dry palate, medium to coarse, prickly carbonation. Mild bretty flavours, nice Saison aspects, minimally waxy and soapy interference; more Farmhouse IPA than Brut IPA to me - pretty decent.

330ml bottle from Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a short-lived, fizzy, slightly off-white head. The aroma is cardboard yeast, light hops. The flavour is light to moderate bitter, with a light, watery, dry, earthy, metallic, light hop bitter palate. Light to medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A lager “remembered” ? This is a lager I want to forget very quickly. It’s light, watery and totally lacking flavour. I’d rather drink Tiger Beer than this and Rustic Lager is five times the price. Beers like this do the craft cause no good at all!
