Native Mixed Case

The perfect introduction to the Native Series. Two bottles each of the first three releases in the Native Series, Pomme, Nearly Home & Gorse.

The Native Series is a range of wild fermented beers showcasing the flavours of locally foraged wild yeast to produce a unique flavour of Cornwall.

The undeniable distinction of these beers is their yeast characteristic. All of these beers are fermented with a unique mixed culture of wild yeast foraged from Cornwall and West Devon, with each beer release having its own unique and diverse mixture of wild yeast and bacteria, giving each beer its own identity rooted in both time and place. This uniqueness means that these beers will taste like no other and could never be replicated exactly, even by us! Bottled with a living culture, these beers will also continue to develop further nuanced flavours and aromas adding to their uniqueness in time.
