Pale, Bitter, Hoppy – Large amounts of hops deliver an intense piney and citrusy aroma and flavour in a bitter, easy drinking Pale Ale. Although brewing in Britain was already established when the Romans arrived in 54BC, by the time they built the Roman Fort ‘Deva Victrix’ in 79AD, on what is now considered ‘Chester’, Roman soldiers had helped to develop brewing and were sustaining themselves on English ale. Since this was before the introduction of hops, we wanted to brew a beer that really showcased the hop presence, celebrating beer in the 21st century.
