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@ The Philarmonic, Liverpool. Orangey looks with a small off-white head. Some fragrant grassy hop, biscuity malt and citrus fruit character in the nose and taste departments. Dryish bitter finish. Straightforward and downable.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Pours clear gold with a filmy head. Subtle malt aroma, hay and straw, light malts. Lightly sweet flavor, a bit of corn and hay, crispy malts, delicate straw and grass bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Balanced finish with some earthy bitterness in the throat, with a dynamic malt character. The first impression I get from this beer is nothing special but the complexity comes out a bit as I drink it. Quite nice.

Full pint, cask, hand-pulled at Woodins Shades near the Liverpool Street station. Copper coloured body with a loose, white head leaving lacework behind. Moderate aroma of tea-like hops and fresh fruits. Sappy grapefruits in flavour followed by a decent bitter tail. Just the right refreshing and thirst quenching beer after a long journey from Tromsø to London, 19.03.2011.

Cask at the White Lion, Aldershot. Initially black in colour with a loose cream head; becoming a deep ruby red as the glass drained; the aroma has toast and dark treacle; the flavour is rich, sweet and malty to start then becoming drier with coffee notes and a deep earthy bitterness to finish, leaving a faint trace of vanilla. An exceptional porter.
