Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Coolship No.1 if you want a wilder, more unpredictable funkiness,
OUDE GREGG if you want refined complexity and balance.
Both are spontaneous/mixed fermentation sours at nearly identical strength, but Coolship leans into raw Brett character while OUDE GREGG feels more composed. Neither is "better"—it's about whether you're chasing adventure or elegance tonight.

Coolship No.1
Coolship No.1 hits you with genuine wildness. There's a sharp, almost vinegary edge upfront that settles into orchard fruit and wet horse blanket—classic Brett territory. The carbonation is aggressive, almost prickly on your tongue. It's the kind of beer that reminds you spontaneous fermentation is still a living, breathing process.
OUDE GREGG
OUDE GREGG is the polished version of this story. Bright stone fruit and lemon zest lead, followed by subtle musty basement notes and a dry, almost mineral finish. The bubbles are tighter, more integrated. This drinks like someone spent years perfecting what wild yeast can do, not just letting it run loose.
