Spectral Lore Wild Ale, Holy Goat Brewing
Description
Framboise inspired wild ale with tayberries and strawberries
Inspired by the Belgian framboise, our version is primary fermented with a Brettanomyces blend which produces intense juicy stone and tropical fruit flavours. In this, our 2023 iteration of Spectral Lore, we refermented the base beer on 250g/l of Tayberries and an additional 80g/l of strawberries, both harvested around 12 miles from the brewery. Tayberries are a cross between raspberries and blackberries, named after the River Tay, which runs through our home of Dundee where these berries were first bred.

Producer Details
Holy Goat is a Dundee based brewery specialising in the production of mixed- fermentation and wood aged beers. Mixed fermentation refers to the use of unconventional yeasts and bacteria in brewing, which allows production of beers with unique character. We are driven by experimentation and are obsessed with the awesome flavours which can be achieved from mixed-culture fermentations.
Inspired by tradition mixed fermentation beer styles we seek to pay hommage to our brewing forbears, using new techniques, fermentation styles and the highest quality ingredients to produce complex, interesting and (most importantly) tasty beer! The breweries name references the tongue-in-cheek description of the ‘goat’ like qualities of wild yeast (Brettanomyces) characteristics. A reverence to this yeast and to the beers which display these characteristics is a strong part of the identity of the brewery.
Hail the Goat!
