A new addition to our line-up celebrating the re-opening of the Earl Grey pub in Leek. Named after Charles, the 2nd Earl Grey, who as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom contributed to the world-wide abolition of slavery by ratifying the now defunct British Empire’s Abolition of Slavery Act 1833.
It is a golden brown coloured English ale brewed using 3 English hop varieties with the addition of some dark crystal malt. This has given extra depth to flavour, body and colour which, with considerable dry hop bitterness, makes this a beautiful beer and a proper ale.
Beautiful hoppy, fruity aroma. Warm malty start, with slight toffee notes, soon gives to dry hoppy bitterness developing into a lasting dry and complex finish making you want more. A lot more! Enjoy...
