Live Culture Cuvee by Soul Barrel Brewing Co

Soul Barrel has taken the top spot in the 2022 African Beer Cup, Africa’s biggest beer competition. The brewery took the coveted title of Best Beer in Africa with their Live Culture, which beat 250 entries from 14 different African countries.

The latest edition of our flagship wild ale, this is a cuvee of multiple vintages aged between one and six years.  This beer showcases the dynamic flavour and evolution of our mixed yeast culture.  The older parts of the blend show an intense brett spicy and funk character, enhanced by a fruity tartness, and peach, honey and lemon notes of more recent vintages.  This blend is the pinnacle of our barrel aging program.

The beer was fermented in a large French oak barrel, with the native Live Culture yeast blend that live in the wood. A long aging period followed, during which the wild yeast slowly continued to work, contributing the dry, funky, peppery, light fruit notes the Live Culture is known for. After aging it was blended with fresh citrus fynbos and hops. It reminds us of aged, dry champagne. The beer is thoroughly imprinted with our environment. The process of growing the grain, in the brewery, fermenting the beer with our native wild yeast, and aging it with our homegrown fynbos gives a unique sense of place.
