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.

Panda at home, thanks to Ed Danlo, 25/08/24. Mahogany brown with a reddish hue topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is tangy red berry fruits, herb, funk, oak, whisky nip, raisins. Taste comprises tart redcurrant, herb, light funk, mellow acidic bite, mixed barrel tones, hibiscus, tannins. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a balanced acidic rise. Solid complex BA sour ... perhaps age has dealt this one a good hand in terms of my score and earlier ratings?
