Our tenth birthday present to ourselves was a beautiful new brewery. To celebrate, we invited six legendary breweries from the UK craft beer scene to help us put it through its paces. The party comes in the form of the resulting Birthday Beers series.
Partnering with North Brewing Co meant doubling down on the dark magic of stouts, combining their expertise in adjuncts with our approach to perfecting a beautiful malt base.
Rich and full-bodied, this beer is all about coconut. 30 kilos of toasted coconut flakes add complex caramelised sugars and nuttiness to a rich, dark malt bill. Sunny, tropical sweetness from Sabro hops is amplified by a touch of vanilla.

Creamy off white head left a rocky froth on a still black body. Coconut, malt, & vanilla aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & creamy with a short dry back. Coconut, malt, burnt, roasted & faint citrus tastes. Standard.

Beer 11,000, four years after I reached the 10k milestone. A 440ml can from Redland Stores, Bristol. Jet black with a tight, beige, head. Aroma of plain chocolate and coffee beans, with some toasted coconut in the background. Slightly oily mouthfeel, with chocolate upfront, then plenty more sweetish coconut and some rich, lighted toasted malts in the finish. ENjoyable.
