Bière De Saison Raspberry, The Kernel
Description
A mixed culture saison brewed with patience, complexity, and a little wildness.
Our Bière de Saison is fermented with our house mixed culture, developed over time through blending, experimentation, and reuse. It contains a combination of saison yeast, brettanomyces, and a range of wild and commercial yeasts and bacteria – some isolated from our own barrels, others grown from local fruit, and still more sourced from beers we’ve enjoyed drinking ourselves.
Once the saison yeast finishes its work, the beer conditions slowly over weeks and months, as the wild organisms start to shape it further. What begins fresh and lively becomes something deeper and more layered over time.

Producer Details
The Kernel Brewery was founded in 2009 by Evin O'Riordain in Bermondsey, England. It was one of London's first craft brewers, and within 10 years it had helped inspire the establishment of around a hundred new microbreweries in the capital. The original 6.5 hectolitre brewhouse on Druid Street was replaced in 2012 by a 32hl plant on Dockley Road in the Spa Terminus railway arches.
The brewery's ethos strongly favours quality over quantity, with quality control being at the heart of the operation. Around 90 percent of the beer Kernel produces is sold in London. O'Riordain says that "the demand is way higher than anything we can produce, it’s far beyond our capacity."
Kernel avoids unnecessary experimentation, with each brew being an intentional evolution of the previous batch. The hop types used are constantly changing in line with availability and the varying characteristics of each year's crop.
