We’ve just dropped a re-release of a very popular #LittleForker on tap BFG 5% Barrel Fermented Gose!

#Fork‘s Puns ‘n’ Goses wort was used to make this beer, and transferred into a French Oak barrel (which had previously been used to age a version Yoghurt & Bruesli sour ale). It contained a bunch of different yeasts and bacteria – some cultured and some wild.

The result is a remarkably drinkable, clear sour ale that harks back to the traditional style with a little funk!
