Sour beers may seem like the UFO of the craft beer world, but they’re actually one of the oldest beer styles in the world!
Lambic beers, gueuze, Flanders red ales, or German gose beers to name a few, have been brewed at least since the 1200s. With the help of wild yeasts or bacteria these beers end up with a sour, tart, or acidic taste. Gose beers are even brewed with salt and coriander!
Modern brewers are now experimenting with sour beers, often flavouring them with fruits for an almost smoothie-like beer that makes you pucker up and leaves you wanting more...
Discover our lambics, gueuze, Flanders red, gose, Berliner Weisse, pastry sours, and more!

Originally brewed as a collaboration with Kissmeyer Beer, this is Magic Rocks take on a traditional German style Gose, flavoured with fruit, sea buckthorn and sea salt.
Tart, lightly sour, fruity and refreshing with a defined saltiness makes this beer an excellent accompaniment to food.
£2.75
High Wire Grapefruit is a fruit-infused version of the best-selling West Coast pale ale.
Magic Rock accentuated the original beer’s smoothly composed malt body and lip-smacking citrus character with the addition of 100% natural pink grapefruit flavour.
Juicy, tart and deliciously refreshing, it’s High Wire the Same But Different!

Passion fruit, orange, guava, and yes more orange!

Refreshingly light bodied and perfect for enjoying in the sunshine that is just around the corner.

A thirst quenching session beer, Sour Suzy mimics a classic German brewing technique (sour mashing) to impart a light, refreshing tartness.
No hop bitterness & very low hop profile. Sour Suzy is not your typical session beer – rather it delivers something a bit more obscure and intriguing. It drinks as refreshingly as a glass of lemonade.
The grain bill includes a healthy portion of wheat, while citrusy hops lend bright notes to the aroma which are accentuated by the addition of Makrut lime leaves.
Food pairings - Seafood (white fish, mussels, crab), or as a palate cleanser between dishes.
£3.50
In contrast to all the others, the Orval Trappist brewery makes only one beer for the general public. It has an intensely aromatic and dry character. Between the first and second fermentations there is also an additional dry-hopping process.
Through this the beer acquires its pronounced hoppy aroma and extra dry taste.

A slightly sweet cherry lambic beer made in the traditional Belgian style by the Lindemans family. Lambic beers are fermented using wild yeasts in the air and aged in oak barrels for years to give a sour tart flavour. For this beer, cherries are then added to give the beer a pleasant and full fruity sweetness that offsets the sour base before a pleasing and refreshing tart finish.

The Rodenbach Grand Cru is the archetypal Flanders red-brown beer. Each of these beers is a unique blend, but they all share a brewing process characteristic of the area surrounding Roeselare and Kortrijk.
The typical sweet and sour taste of a Rodenbach Grand Cru is produced by a two stage fermentation process called mixed fermentation, involving top-fermentation and bacterial fermentation using lactic acid bacteria. The Rodenbach Grand Cru matures in oak foeders, or barrels, over a period of two years, giving the beer a unique, complex fruitiness that is reminiscent of wine.
Rodenbach, the mother beer, is usually one-quarter mature beer to three-quarters young beer. When it comes to Rodenbach Grand Cru, the blend is two-thirds mature beer with one-third of a young brew added.
The 'roodbruin', or red-brown beers, of Flanders can be traced back to the Middle Ages. At that time, hops, the modern preservative ingredient in beer, had yet to reach Belgium but brewers knew that beers containing lactic and ascetic acids kept for longer. This gave rise to the tradition of sour beers, made by cutting a young and newly fermented beer with an older beer that has finished fermenting. The bitterness of hops is barely discernible in this style of beer.

Lindeman’s Cuvée René is - without a doubt - the queen of gueuzes.
A blend of old and young lambics matures in large oak barrels and then undergoes a secondary fermentation in champagne bottles to achieve a dry finish with an effervescent carbonation.
Aromas and flavours of “dusty barnyard” and “earthy funk” can sound somewhat off-putting, but the notes of sour apple, lemon, and wood in this gueuze complement them nicely. Its lasting sour finish and medium body make this beer more adventurous than one might think.

You all know Yonder love foraging.
They also love a good saison.
Combining the two in a FORAGED SAISON is like second nature to them.
Tart fruits work so well in a saison base. It really lifts that dry finish in to something very special indeed and Sea Buckthorn is the perfect fruit to do that.
Packed full of Vitamin C they have a real citrus kick, which works so well in beer.

After their recent flirt with the imperial gose style in Plant Sugar gaining absolutely rave reviews, Polly's set about looking into what they could do to one up themselves, as is the MO there at the brewery.
Deciding to stick with the higher ABV sour beers to maintain that thick, pulpy mouthfeel to accentuate the fruits used, they settled on peach and apricot to play on those flavour characteristics present in their pale and hoppy beers, but amplified up for a banging gose that's equal parts sweet and sour.
With a healthy addition of local sea salt to take the edge off that smacking of tartness, this beer is perfect for those hazy sunny evenings, where the sun stays out until late and the good times keep rollin'.
