TWIN OAKS – MIXED FERMENTED SOUR 7.2%
In 2019 we had the pleasure of spending some time with The Bruery’s very own Sour Jesus, Jeremy. We shared some very special beers and brewed a beer of our own to put to rest in Châteauneuf-du-Pape barrels. The barrels were inoculated with a strain brought over by the Bruery to make this collaboration come alive. This beer has plenty of oak tannins, funk, and vinous characteristics to give you a tart and complex sour. Contains sediment.
Enjoy now or with a BBE of Jan 27 keep it in your secret stash for that special occasion.
Ingredients: Water, barley, wheat, yeast and mixed culture. Allergens in Bold

Twin Oaks – Burnt Mill Brewery
Bright. Wild. Beautifully Balanced.
Beer Overview
Twin Oaks from Burnt Mill Brewery is an elegant mixed fermentation sour beer, shaped by time, patience and carefully managed wild cultures. Designed to showcase balance over sharpness, it delivers vibrant acidity, soft fruit character and subtle earthy complexity in a refined, drinkable format.
Layered yet restrained, Twin Oaks offers bright citrus and orchard fruit notes supported by delicate funk and a clean, dry finish. It’s a beer built on nuance—complex without being overpowering, expressive without losing clarity.
Flavour Profile
Taste: Lemon zest, green apple and soft stone fruit with gentle acidity and light earthy undertones.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium-bodied, lively and softly textured.
Finish: Crisp, dry and refreshingly tart with lingering complexity.
Aroma
Fresh citrus and orchard fruit lead, followed by subtle farmhouse funk, light floral notes and a hint of earthy depth from mixed fermentation.
Brewing Process & Uniqueness
Twin Oaks is brewed using a mixed fermentation approach, combining traditional yeast and bacteria cultures to develop layered flavour over time. Extended conditioning allows acidity and funk to integrate naturally, resulting in a rounded, harmonious sour profile.
