KEES

Pastore's "Winter Wild" series is on it's way!
SAKE KASU BEER 2023 x The Sparkling Sake Brewery One of Pastore's favourite beers from last year returns with some tweaks this month. For this year's edition they took the sake kasu (lees) from Naoki at The Sparkling Sake Brewery up the road from them in Little Downham and primary fermented some rice saison on it along with their mother culture of wild yeasts before ageing for a further six months on lees and finally bottle conditioning. The key difference from last year is the primary fermentation - last year's vintage was aged for a month on lees post stainless steel ageing. The primary ferm has brought lots more sake / rice fermentation character with lots of citrus esters & savoury elements. The beer is all together spritzy, rich, complex, acidic & dry! SANGUINETO x Husk Beer A blend of barrel aged golden wild ales on local cherries. Made with Husk Beer in Harrogate. They tasted through their barrel library in the summer with Danny & Immy from Husk to find some barrels that would work nicely in a British cherry blend. The blend they came up with was taken from Tawny Port and Sauternes barrels. They came together to give spices, vanilla & a touch of acetic acid that we love in their cherry wild ales. The resulting blend was rested on ~200 g/l of local cherries, halved and stones left in. The blend pours a rich blood red, low carb, bursting with notes of cherry, almond, vanilla & oak - a little funky, acidic & dry. SHEPHERD OF THE SITH x Emperor's Brewery A beer made a long time ago. Two and a half years ago in fact. Damian from Emperor's joined Pastore on a Saturday in June 2021 and they brewed a mighty double mash imperial stout. It was laid to rest in oak barrels with their mother culture of wild yeasts where in a dusty cobwebby corner of the brewery it underwent its slow transformation. The blend took a long time to realise its potential, undulating between phases of bitterness, richness & acidity before after two years settling into a lovely blend of the three. The final blend marries rich chocolate and soy from the cognac barrel with red fruit acidity and oak from the Fredericksdal cherry wine barrel. A feast for the senses and without a doubt one of the most complex beers Pastore have released. PUHASTE

STRATEGIC RESERVE 2 It wouldn't be a birthday if Azvex didn't revamp the original birthday beer! For this year’s base recipe, Azvex applied all they have learned about their dark beer this past year.
