YONDER BREWING & BLENDING

The project of Yonder was born through the combined passion for three things: Foraging, flavour and fermentation.
Join us on a journey to explore the flavour possibilities of the ingredients on our doorstep and beyond.

Whether it's naturally occurring microbes in the Mendip Hills which spontaneously ferment our beers, carefully farmed fruit and herbs
from a few miles up the road, or botanicals hand foraged in the Scottish Highlands, each beer tells a unique story.

Based in the Mendip Hills of Somerset in the United Kingdom, the small team are sourcing the finest ingredients to create flavourful, small batch brews with a strong sense of time and place. Each product is carefully crafted, and never rushed, using a combination of modern and traditional brewing techniques, including oak barrel ageing and stainless steel maturation.

The perfect partnership; Picking purple Pershore plums with Martin from @piltoncider ! . Stu has spent the day on the 21 acre, stone fruit orchards of Hipton Hill in Evesham, Worcestershire, collecting these delicious, flavourful Pershore plums (which the locals call ‘purple eggs’). These will make their way in to a special beer this week. . Martin is also working on something special, which will be released a little later.

Just one week to go until our next brewery tap room open day! . Doors are open from 12pm, through to 8pm. . Junkyard Smoke are providing the food, which will include vegan/vegetarian options, as well as the meat feast that they are known for as an American style smokehouse barbecue. .

So #watchthisspace. . #brewyonder #craftbeer #somerset #mendips #taproom #brewerytap #breweryopenday
Day 5 of our saison summary and today we bring you a sneak peak of a new release, heading out in to the world over the next few weeks. . Fiona is brewed with our house cultures of yeast and bacteria, which transform the well known flavours of English malt and hops in to something rather special. . The addition of pineapple weed, a wild relative of chamomile, add a herbal and floral character and a mild pineapple flavour and aroma. . Pineapple weed is native to Asia, but now grows all over the UK and Europe, on dry and rough terrain such as gravel paths and gateways. . We are now approaching the end of its season, but from May onwards, look down and you’re sure to find this ‘weed’ growing prolifically. . Fiona will be shipping out in the two weeks, so look out for bottles and draft at your local bottle shop or bar. . If you want to stock it, give us a shout and we will point you in the right direction. . #brewyonder #foraged #flavour #fermentation #craftbeer #drinkcraftbeer #pineappleweed #fiona #saison #mixedfermentation #wildale #wildbeer #sourbeer #somerset

Day 4 of our 1st anniversary saison recap and bringing us up to date, is May 2019 release... Ophelia! . Brewed with a wild ingredient, which is popular due to it’s year round availability and wonderful flavour; Gorse flowers. . These bright yellow flowers (protected by vicious spiky bushes!), have a distinctive aroma of coconut when fresh, and they’re never fresher than when picked in spring. . We added the flowers to our mixed culture saison during secondary fermentation, where the coconut aroma was transformed in to tropical, almost pineapple-like flavours. This with a juicy, gentle acidity makes for a wonderful summer saison. 🥥🍍🥥🍍 . We only filled 650 bottles, so if you see one, grab it. ...and if you’ve already had one but want another, also grab it! . It has been fun going back through the archives, but this brings us up to date. . Apart from one surprise tomorrow... . But whilst you wait, we’d like to know... Which is your favourite saison we’ve released so far❓❓❓ . #brewyonder #foraged #farmed #fermentation #flavour #craftbeer #drinkcraftbeer #wildale #sourbeer #wildbeer #saison #mixedfermentarion #gorse #mendiphills #somerset #deerleap #draycottsleights
Day three of our 1st anniversary recap of mixed culture saison releases... 🍾 . March 2019 saw the release of Tang. . Brewed with @tregothnan green tea from Cornwall, this is the only tea to be grown on English soil. 🍵 . Once again, this beer is fermented with our blend of cultures, including saison yeast, brettanomyces and pediococcus. English hops are used liberally for flavour and to dial in the acidity which develops during the long, slow fermentation. . This wonderful tea is then cold steeped during the tail end of fermentation, where its flavours are slowly released alongside the hops, for a herbal, floral tang. . 950 bottles were filled, so there might be a few up for grabs, out there in the wild. . Let us know if you find one! . #brewyonder #greentea #tregothnan #craftbeer #drinkcraftbeer #foraged #local #farmed #uk #somerset #cornwall #southwest #wildale #wildbeer #sourbeer #mixedfermentation #saison
Day two of our 1st anniversary recap and we’d like to reintroduce you to... Suki As our saison cultures develop in tank, they transition from flavours of spice created by the yeast, to gentle acidity and lighter, more rounded flavours as the souring bacteria take told. Both these flavours pair perfectly with the unique flavour of sumac. Foraged at the tail end of summer, as the bright red, cone shaped cluster of berries ripen, sumac has an unmistakable citrus tang and can be used to make a wild lemonade-like drink. . Most people will recognise the ingredient form Moroccan cooking, but many are surprised to learn that it grows all over the UK in gardens, and beyond. . Suki was released in February this year, after a long fermentation and conditioning period and is still tasting great now (if you can find any!). . The bottle also features the fantastic original artwork by Jake Blanchard of @torbeerstodmorden . #brewyonder #foraged #flavour #fermentation #wildale #sourbeer #wildbeer #saison #mixedfermentation #sumac #craftbeer #drinkcraftbeer #somerset #mendiphills
We are opening the doors to the brewery once again and invite you to join us for beers fresh from the tanks for one day only in August. . On Saturday 17th August, we will be joined by Bristol based Junkyard Smoke, who will be serving American-style smokehouse barbecue, alongside new release beers on draft and in bottle and familiar favourites, such as Fermhouse and Yonder Pils. . As per usual, dogs and children are welcome, so come and enjoy the Mendips and share some beers with us. . Doors open at 12pm and close at 8pm. . #brewyonder #craftbeer #drinkcraftbeer #brewerytap #somerset #mendips #beer #wildale #mixedfermentation #bbq #junkyardsmoke
As promised last week, to celebrate our 1st anniversary, we are looking back at some of the first 50 brews of 2018/2019. 🎉 . Our range of saisons are fermented with house cultures of yeast and bacteria and feature a single foraged or locally farmed ingredient. 🧺 . First up is Samantha, our mixed culture saison with Rock Samphire seeds. . Brewed in August last year (with the freshly harvested seeds) and released in November. It’s burnt orange and carrot-like notes, against a slightly malty base and gentle acidity/saltiness, made it the perfect mixed fermentation beer for Christmas that year. 🎄 . If you’re lucky enough to still have a bottle, it has aged very well indeed. If not, you may still be able to find one out in the wild, at a bottle shop or bar near you. 👌 . We love the flavour of this coastal ingredient, so look out for Rock Samphire if you want to get you’re forage on. It’s sure to find it’s way in to another of our beers in the future. 🍺 . #brewyonder #foraged #local #fermentation #flavour #craftbeer #drinkcraftbeer #saison #mixedculture #mixedfermentation #rocksamphire #samantha #somerset #keepitlocal #wildale #beer
It’s our 1st birthday today and we are having a beer in the sun to celebrate, under our new sign. . 1 year ago today we moved in to our unit on the Mendip Hills and starting piecing together our kit to begin making mixed fermentation beers with a focus of foraged and locally sourced ingredients. . . We also brewed our 50th batch this week. So that probably calls for a second beer in the sun. . . Next week we’ll be recapping on some of those 50 beers with posts about the foraged saisons that we’ve released over the last 12 busy months. . Stay tuned! . . #brewyonder #drinkcraftbeer #farmed #foraged #fermentation #flavour #wildale #wildbeer #sourbeer #barrelaged #microbrewery #craftbrewery #craftbeer #barrelaged #mixedfermentation #mixedferm #mixedculture #somerset #mendiphills
