Description
Triple fff launched in 1997 by Graham Trott, a cabinet maker by trade who was a keen home brewer. The most popular question we get asked is 'What is Triple fff?'. As many of you know all our beers (Alton's Pride aside) are either song or album titles. Triple fff in music stands for fortississimo and means very very loud.
He installed a 5 barrel plant (20 casks) in one of the units vacated by the now closed furniture factory on Station Approach in the village of Four Marks. The station still operates on the steam heritage Watercress Line which runs ten miles between Alton and Alresford.
The beer names came from song titles of many of the 60s rock icons, Van Morrison, Led Zeppelin and Cream with Moondance (4.2% ABV), Stairway (4.6% ABV) and the well loved Pressed Rat and Warthog (3.8% ABV). The psychedelic 60s did not spawn a song called Alton Pride (3.8% ABV) but that joined the lyrical portfolio and is our number one seller following its success at 2008’s Great British Beer Festival having been voted Supreme Champion Beer of Britain.
The year 2000 saw an expansion into an 18 Barrel plant and finally in 2006 the brewery became what it is today, a 50 Barrel system that's capable of brewing 160 casks of beer per brew.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 3 July 2015) Pale amber colour with frothy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with citrus, grass and fresh floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of citrus, grass, biscuity malt and a good dose of fresh hops in a finish with a balanced bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Fresh, tasty and highly drinkable. Nice one.

Schön bernsteinfarben im Glas, angenehm malziger Aroma. Im Trunk kaum bis keine Kohlensäure, sehr schöne, bitter-malzige Trockenheit, bitter auch im Abgang, leichte Süße. So muss ein Bitter schmecken - und dabei wenig Prozente.

Cask. Goldeny amber with a small white head. Aroma is caramel, some mild herbal and earthy notes along with quite nice zesty notes as well. Flavour is floral, some berries, mild earth as well as some sweet maltiness as well. Kind of a mix between a bitter and golden ale as for the elements in it.

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 3 - London. Pours clear, vibrant gold with a lasting, frothy white head. Nice beer, with notes of dry pine, flinty minerals, some citrus notes, grassy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; great condition. Lightly sweet on the finish with further grass, citrus rind, light pith and hay. Good stuff.
