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 from Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear golden colour with a big, everlasting, fizzy white head and lots of champagne-like bubbles. The aroma is Brett yeast and light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sour and bitter with a crisp, dry, funky yeast, light tart citrus fruit, earthy, dry hop bitter palate with hints of sweet caramel and a long piney hop bitter finish. Medium bodied with heavy carbonation. Very nice. Made a pleasant change from a never ending stream of pale ales and IPA’s.
