The rapid evolutionary development of new and existing hop varieties is being fuelled by the dramatic growth in consumer demand for new and different flavoured beers worldwide. It is true that combinations of different hops can enable brewers to brew beer of almost any kind of fruit combination, as is the case with our latest modern craft ale development, Theakston Pink Grapefruit Ale. Pink Grapefruit, brewed using the new ‘Sussex’ hop is slightly sweeter and less sharp than it’s more famous yellow variety providing an excellent top note flavour and aroma to a light, refreshing cask ale.
