Fire is a non-adjunct stout we’re really proud of, brewed in collaboration with Crisp Malt. We got to use two of their heritage malts in this 100% English ingredient stout. Chevallier® Heritage Malt, grown since 1820 and the dominant barley variety in England until 1920, is the backbone of many Victorian ales. It brings deep flavors, robust maltiness, and a rich marmalade-like character. Then there’s Plumage Archer® Malt, the first commercially produced cross-bred barley, which had a similar impact on brewing as Chevallier. For years, they stood side by side, each adding its own nuance to 20th-century British beers. Our brewers love the subtle taste and clean finish of Plumage Archer. In this brew, both malts are used in equal parts. We also added Bramling Cross hops, which give notes of blackberries, spices, and wood, and East Kent Goldings hops, which are earthy, a bit bitter, but also have a hint of honey. This beer is quadruple mashed to get the most flavor out of these special ingredients. The result? Pure, thick, and robust. Cheers!
