Pastore, founded in Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire in 2019 by Ben and Chris, was born out of a shared love of sour and wild beers old world and new. We specialise in innovative fresh fruited sour beers inspired by traditional styles such as Berliner Weisse and Gose or by more modern takes such as Pastry Sours and Sour IPAs. To this day our sours are fermented with our house fresh sour mixed culture of Kveik and Lactobacillus and use high-quality fruits to achieve the classic Pastore balance of fresh fruit flavour and zippy lactic acidity that we are known for. Lactose-free, all our sours are vegan-friendly.
More recently we have extended our range to encompass speciality lagers, IPAs and stouts. We carry the same passion and dedication to these styles of brewing, aiming for exciting interpretations inspired by historical brewing but using modern techniques. Wherever possible we love to introduce Pastore twists such as our rice lager co-fermented with sake kasu, our west coast IPA bittered with gentian root or our oat stouts featuring classic Italian flavours like pistachio and amaretto.
