Holy Goat - Goosegog

We teamed up with our friends at Futtle (based in East Neuk, Fife) and Scratch Brewing (based in Illinois, US) for this foraged Gose. We blended a golden sour base beer from our blending stock and aged this on whole locally grown red gooseberries (goosegogs). We used a carbonic maceration process to help break down the fruit and gain additional complexity from these berries. To this blend we added foraged seaweed from the shores of East Neuk and spicebush berries from the woods around Scratch brewing. The resultant beer is sweet, salty, with heaps of gooseberry, spice and a whiff of sea-breeze.
