Goatfire
Holy Goat Brewing

Inspired by Flanders Reds of old, Goatfire is a blended sour red ale combining 80% provision strength ‘young’ stock beer aged in steel, with around 20% ‘mature’ stock beer aged in freshly emptied Glen Moray whisky casks for one year. The combination of old and young beers has produced a complex sweet and sour flavour profile with a subtle oak character.
This blended base was refermented on a combination of 220g/l locally grown Scottish strawberries and second use Morello cherries from Kent. We also added almonds to provide additional aromatics and deepen the natural almond flavour from cherry pits.
