Trickster (2021)

Blackberry sour

Trickster is our annual blackberry sour release that we’ve packed full of plump, juicy, blackberries. We used a sweeter variety compared to last year, providing increased balance against the sharper, more tart flavours - whilst still offering that wonderful earthy character reminiscent of the British hedgerow.   

INGREDIENTS

Superstar (2021)

Ginger gose

INGREDIENTS

Megastar

Raspberry and ginger sour

Megastar was brewed for The (Virtual) Independent Salford Beer Festival and inspired by two of our most popular previous releases; Juggler and Superstar. We co-pitched our in-house bacteria culture with our favourite yeast strain to create a base beer full of fruity esters and a wonderfully clean sourness. Additions of fresh raspberries and fleur de sal accentuate the sharpness, whilst ginger and coriander seeds provide a warming, earthy undertone. 

INGREDIENTS

Tumbler

Cherry and pear sour

Tumbler is a fruity sour that will twist and turn on your palate with delicate flavours of cherry and pear. We choose a delicious Herefordshire pear juice to use in this beer - adding a comforting crispness whilst mellowing the sour cherry puree. Conditioning on vanilla pods helps to give Tumbler a little lift; complimenting the fruit character and accentuating drinkability.   

INGREDIENTS

Countess (2021)

Tonka, vanilla and chocolate stout

Countess is a stout that has been conditioned on Tahitian vanilla, tonka beans and cacao nibs. A decadent beer that’s packed full of sweet vanilla, rich tonka, and indulgent chocolate flavours. This year's Countess is slightly smother and a little boozier compared with the 2020 version - and we think all the better for it. A perfect accompaniment to a cold night.
