I look like trouble, and honestly… I kind of am. I’m the all-new Holgate Sour AF, a strawberry and plum kettle sour brewed to taste like the best kind of bad decision: the one that reminds you of sour lollies, sherbet dust, and that sharp little thrill right before your mouth starts watering.
Crack me open and I pour a hazy bronze-blush that feels innocent enough, then the fruit hits. Juicy strawberries lead the charge, plum swoops in with a darker, tangier twist. I’m bright, playful, and absolutely not shy about it.
But don’t get it twisted, I’ve got structure. At 6% ABV, I’m fuller and rounder than your average kettle sour, with just enough sweetness to keep the acidity in check. The tang is there, the pucker shows up, but it never tips into face-scrunching punishment. Sour AF here means flavour-forward, fun-first, and dangerously drinkable.
Seasonal, limited, and brewed with a grin, I’m Holgate having a bit of fun — proof that you can make a sour that’s bold, nostalgic, and still seriously well put together. Think old-school sour candies… just fermented and slightly rebellious.
Holgate Brewery isn’t just a brewery; it’s a love story brought to life. Founded in 1999 by Paul and Tash Holgate, the brewery was born out of a shared passion for crafting exceptional beer. Inspired by their travels to American microbreweries, they transformed a historic hotel into a bustling brewpub, where visitors could witness the brewing process firsthand. Despite facing early challenges, their unwavering dedication and commitment to quality have propelled Holgate to the forefront of Australia’s craft beer scene.
