New Monthly Brew - Single Hop 4.6%
Every month we will be
brewing a copper pale ale that is 'single hopped' for both bittering and aroma. This will showcase the hop and let
you identify the characteristics that it gives to the brew as the malt construction will be the same, letting the hop shine.
Here's a list of which hops were planning to use (depending on availability!) - watch this space for additions
throughout the year.
Mid March 'Columbus' - very high alphas at 17.9%
flavours are earthy & spicy with pungent citrus aromas but not overpowering
Mid April
'Citra' - beautiful spring hop giving pineapple, mango and citrus flavours to wake up the tastebuds. A very unique
and interesting hop.
Mid May 'Simcoe' - primarily used for bittering this hop has
a clean pine-like aroma and a taste with a slight hint of citrus
Mid June 'Delta'
- new american hop giving an unrestrained earthy aroma which will complement the rich malts
Mid
July 'Apollo' - terrific new resiny hop with aromas and flavours of orange, mango, pineapple and passion fruit. Perfect
for the summer.

House Beer for The Rowbarge
- 07/10
Following on from a chat with Mark the landlord of The Rowbarge at his recent beer festival, we were
commissioned to brew a house beer for them. It's called Compass Point Ale, which is copper coloured bitter using only
English malts and hops. It's a good session strength ale that's been selling very well.
