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.

From tap at Long Johns Pub, Amersfoort. Bright and citrussy aroma with some stone fruits, a little peachiness, light pale malt. Some lemon, touch of hop. Tart and light bitter, moderate sour. Medium body. Refreshing, crisp, fruity and sourish.

Bottle. Aroma is lots of tart red and some dark fruits with oak, cognac, hint of spruce. Medium sourness, light puckering. Body is medium. Finishes with more notes of cognac. Good stuff!

(Bottle) Hazy amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, funky nose with notes of mango, apricots, orange, herbs, butterscotch and spicy yeast. Fruity, funky, hoppy taste with mango, apricots, orange peel, herbs, hay, butterscotch and a generous citric/spicy bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a slight sweetness. The funky yeast remains quite balanced, making it both tasty and quite interesting. Nice one.

Very huge whtie head with a faint cream layering over spectacular clear ruby-copper beer. Fruity nose, cassis, liqueurish. Fruitsugars, but not syrupy smelling. valerian, blackcurrant leaf, faint wood. Quite sour, yet there is faint biscuity oxydation. Vanillacream cookies. Lactic, but also lightly acetic acid. Slightly metallic copper flavour in the very finish. Lipsmacking acidity, very serious acidburn and some acidthinning. Dry-out effect, long lasting. And another one with just too much acidity onslaught. The winecasks already having acetobacter, maybe?
