For our second beer of the series, we’ve joined forces with Harbour Brewing Co. in Cornwall. While we both have a deep connection with the coast, the farm is Harbour’s home and this has inspired us to brew Break Point, a farmhouse pale ale, in which land and sea collide.
As well as their main site, Harbour have a smaller brewhouse where they brew with local ingredients - in essence, a farmhouse brewery. Keen to embrace the farmhouse process, we’ve used a kveik yeast strain, which is used in farmhouse brewing in Norway.
It has created big waves of tropical fruit flavour balanced by a caramelised undercurrent, thanks to the addition of local malted barley and rye. The result is a juicy farmhouse pale, the colour of fresh straw.

Can from Adnams Cellar, Aldeburgh. Hazy golden with a small head. Tropical fruity brew although slightly subdued in this respect, but the depth of the brew is appealing in the palate.

Cask at Flakhaven. Hazy golden with a lasting white head. Fruity aroma with pineapple and citrus and a touch of yeast. Sweetish fruity flavour with a malty backbone.

23/7/2021. Cask at the Rumsey Wells, Norwich. Pours slightly hazy golden orange with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of orange, citrus, grass, touch of sour pineapple and peach, with a yeasty bready edge. Moderate sweetness, light bitterness and slight sour notes. Moderate body, average carbonation. Not bad.
