A collaboration between Cropton and Mike Hall, brewer at North Peak Brewery in Michigan, produced mainly for Nicholsons / Mitchells & Butlers pubs. Although the names of this range of beers correspond to beers made by North Peak, the ABVs and recipes differ considerably from their namesakes’. Note that the branding on the pump clips often excludes any information regarding the provenance.
A new beer category developed in the Pacific North West of USA. The combined flavours of the roasted malts and big fruity hops produce a wonderfully complex beer that will excite the most discerning of beer drinkers.
HOPS: Chinook, Columbus, Cascade & Centennial

Cask, handpump at The Crown, Cornmarket, Oxford whilst stewarding for a Morris/Longsword rapper event 04.12.11 Pours chestnut with good clarity and a fimly head atop. Pretty decent with a good furry bitterness. The back of the pumpclip which incidentally is very similar to the image displayed here apart from no mention of North Peak or Michigan and its black, says brewed by Mike Hall. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4

Cask @ Haymarket Bar. Wonder how this got across the pond. Dark ruby red colour, brown colour, beige head. Nose is roasted malts, coffee and citrus. Flavour of roasted malts, citrus, light sour. Roasty finish. Pleasant.

On tap at the Magpie. Clear dark red-brown beer. Residual tan head. No carbonation. Semi dry palate. Starts with an odd vegetal note and a whisper of sulphur. Some dry fruit and a little bitter hop. A very dry finish. Too dry and in suspect condition.
