More About The Kernel Bière de Saison Sour Morello Cherry 2025

Our mixed culture fermentation saison contains two or three strains of commercial saison yeast, along with various wild and commercial yeast and bacteria: we’ve isolated brettanomyces strains from our barrels; we have grown up wild yeast collected from local fruit; we have blended in dregs from bottles of mixed fermentation beers that we have enjoyed; and we have added commercially available brettanomyces strains, 3 lactobacillus strains, and some pediococcus. Once the saison yeast’s initial fermentation has run its course, the beer undergoes a long secondary fermentation/conditioning phase as the wild yeast and bacteria start to make their impression. The in itial result is fresh, tart, lively and sometimes citric. It has a dry finish, a spritz of carbonation, the distinctive spiciness of the saison yeast, and a touch of lemon, grass and herbs, with a cleansing and slightly sour tang. As the beer ages, the brettanomyces adds more spices, fruits, a touch of horse and leather. Some of this Biere de Saison becomes the base beer that we either blend and ferment or age in oak barrels or foeder. The beer can be dry-hopped or re-fermented with whole fruit, such as damsons, quince or apricots. Malt: Maris Otter, wheat malt, oats Yeast: house mixed culture.

Meet the Producer, Kernel Brewery

Kernel Brewery

Style: Brewery

The Kernel basically changed London beer forever and then carried on quietly making brilliant beer while everyone else argued online about haze levels.

Started by Evin O’Riordain in Bermondsey back in 2009, the brewery became one of the key names behind modern British craft beer. At the time most UK breweries were still heavily tied to either traditional cask ale or bland industrial lager. Then Kernel arrived making beautifully balanced pale ales, porters and IPAs inspired by American brewing but without loads of gimmicky nonsense attached.

The thing people always notice first is the labels. Plain white text-heavy designs that look more like old pharmacy packaging than craft beer branding. Completely iconic now.

The beers themselves lean heavily into balance and drinkability. Their pale ales and IPAs helped introduce loads of UK drinkers to Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and all the big modern hop varieties before every supermarket shelf became covered in them. Crisp bitterness, proper structure and no unnecessary sweetness weighing things down.

Then there’s the dark beer side. Export stouts, porters and brown ales packed with roast malt, chocolate and coffee character without becoming ridiculously heavy. Kernel dark beer in winter is basically public service infrastructure at this point.

Even after influencing hundreds of breweries, Kernel still feels oddly low-key. No massive hype campaigns, no endless collaboration circus, just very very good beer brewed with frightening consistency.
