Pekin Pale Ale is a refreshing pale ale with hints of tropical fruit. Exclusively hopped with a new experimental hop, developed and grown on the farm where we brew.

This Pale Ale has been Pekin everyone’s interest. In 2019 we started entering it into competitions. That year it was awarded 1 star at Great Taste as well as taking bronze at the SIBA Regional Awards. Last year, in 2020, it yet again won a star at The Great Taste Awards.

Previously brewed as Unity Brewhouse Pekin Pale Ale

7th Sep 2017. Gravity poured half-pint in a huge marque close to the brewhouse during a presentation and hop walk around 'Stocks Farm'. This is brewed with a new hop variety grown exclusively on the farm (apparently quadruple hopped). Clear golden pour, white topping. Tropical fruit in the nose and taste, slightly perfumed aroma within the fruits. Nice, easy drinking beer and the first firkin to run out of the ten (free, pour your own) beers on offer to me and about 400 brewers.
