Double Northern is a modern take on a classic beer that was prevalent at the time Northern Soul was dominating dancefloors across the North of England, and a direct nod to the Burton-upon-Trent heritage of the style. We teamed up with Donzoko to create this reimagined recipe, which started with the ‘burtonisation’ of the water, pushing the mineral content much higher than we usually would.
The base combines historic Chevallier malt with Maris Otter, while Brewers Invert Sugar No.1 boosts ABV and fermentability whilst honouring traditional brewing methods. English hop varieties First Gold, East Kent Goldings and Bramling Cross deliver marmalade, earthy spice, and winter berry flavours with a bold bitterness.

Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light bitter edge.
Tidy drop ... subtle and well nuanced throughout.

Can. Near clear orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. The malts are smooth and have a pleasant mild creamy caramel vibe. The trio of English hops bring mild marmalade, a slight earthiness. A little bramble fruits. A little ripe apricot on the back end along with mild pine and very mild hop spice. Yeah, like this. Modern brew but quintessentially English.

My Patron Saint Project Beer#2, today celebrating Saint Agatha of Sicily, Patron Saint of bakers through a Patrons Project brew. A little gassy with its carbonation but maintains and interestingly sweet tropical fruit character with the emphasis on sweet, mainly sugars. Tasty for it, even with a notable full-bodied strength.
gave a cheers!
Lci. Enjoyably malty.
