A strong English Ale brewed at the North Brink Brewery, to celebrate over 225 years of brewing. The beer is bottle conditioned, store cool and allow to age for flavour and carbonation to develop. Best served at around 10-12 degrees C. Our 225th year was in fact 202, but sadly we were not able to brew much during the pandemic that saw our industry closed down! The beer is a tribute to the longevity of our brewery, our dedication and passion for brewing beer as a 5th generation family-owned private brewery. The recipe uses Pale Ale Malt, Crystal and Amber malts for a full flavoured beer with fruity esters. Hop bitterness from English Traditional varieties, Fuggles & Challenger with Goldings late in the boil. After primary fermentation the beer was stored in tank for 2 months "dry-hopped" on newer variety English Hops, Jester & Emperor. The final flavour is very full, juicy malt with complex hop characters. As the beer is bottle conditioned the flavour will develop further with time as the secondary yeast slowly works producing high carbonation.
