01

From the record

Summary

Specialists in wild fermentation, dry-hopping, and aggressive fruit additions, pushing the boundary of modern BC sours. Merged with a duplicate record (slug "le-sauvage-brewing") on 10 August 2026. The duplicate arose from a slugifier stripping the î in "île" rather than transliterating it.

A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.

Fruited Gose

Gose is brewed with salt and coriander and was nearly extinct fifty years ago. A Victoria brewery adding yuzu to it is the style's second life, not a departure from it.
