Recusant is a wild Belgian style ale. Mashed with Pilsner and Vienna malt, fermented with ale yeast and Brettanomyces Bruxellensis then dry hopped with Styrian Goldings. Recusant refuses to submit or comply.
Conceived by Mark Tranter ex Dark Star head brewer in a Sussex barn, the brewery is hidden away in the south downs and as such it allows them to brew uncompromising brews of quality and tradition. They use traditional techniques that involve slower yeasts and long maturation times.
