Style : Dark Ale ABV : 4.6% Bottle Size : 375ml   Whilst squirrels cache their nuts for the winter, we were busy preparing acorns for this very special dark ale, spring release. We have turned the humble acorn, a nut not commonly considered edible, in to an ingredient that chefs are fighting for.After peeling the oak nuts, leaching their tannins in water over several days, drying, roasting and milling, you are left with a flour (or coffee, if heavily roasted), which brings amazing toffee and sweet nutty flavours to anything it plays a part of.This sweet, dark ale, with caramel and roasty flavours from the selection of malts used, is the perfect drink to carry those flavours and with a hint of spice from more local Myrica Gale, it's perfectly balanced for a cold spring evening.

Style : Wild Ale ABV : 4.7% Bottle Size : 375ml   How could we talk of ourselves a Somerset brewery, focusing on local ingredients, without calling upon some of our cider making friends for help?The first release of Loop for 2019, brewed in Autumn 2018, featured 20% apple juice, pressed from beautifully tannic cider apples grown just a few miles up the road at Burrow Hill.With no preservatives or pasteurisation, the juice did a very good job of added to our mixed cultures and the result is a cross between a dry, farmhouse cider and a tart farmhouse saison.The addition of wild rose petals, gives a perceived floral sweetness to balance that dryness.

Style : Wild Ale ABV : 4.4% Bottle Size : 375ml   Our Loop series is a range of tart wheat beers, brewed with our house cultures and aged on a medley of foraged ingredients. Spring 2019's blend features Yorkshire forced rhubarb, whose tart and fruity flavours feature along side the subtle warming spice of magnolia.

Style : Witbier ABV : 4.6% Bottle Size : 375ml   It's this time of year that Yonder brew the base of the beer that launched their brewery; Bees & Things & Flowers.

Style : Saison ABV : 6.0% Bottle Size : 375ml   Every now and again, whilst we’re out foraging, we discover a flavour which needs to be shared. This time, it was a spice which is surprisingly common, but most people are unaware of. Stags Horn Sumac can be found growing as an ornamental tree in gardens throughout the UK. It’s beautiful, furry red fruit cones pointing towards the sky in Autumn and luckily for us, last a little way in to the colder months. They are full of citrus flavour and are often used in Moroccan dishes.Whole cones can be steeped in water to make a refreshing drink, which gave the Sumac the nickname ‘The Lemonade tree’. Fermented with our house cultures, a gentle acidity balances the saison base and lets these wild flavours do the talking.
