About
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 the Alehouse, Reading at 4.6% ABV.] A dark amber pour with a tight cream head; aroma of caramel and sour grains; thick and creamy in the mouth with a heavy grainy body, some caramel, and some sharp orchard fruit - apples, pears and plums; then a mellow nutty finish with lingering fruit and toffee. An excellent winter bitter.

500ml Bottle (from 2005) - Golden with a slight haze. Smoky and grassy aroma. The taste is smoky and slightly sharp with hints of lemon and wheat trying to fight for attention against the dominant smoky notes.

Cask at PoW. Lactose and dark chocolate aroma. Opaque cola brown. Bubbly beige head. Some initial sweet creamy chocolate before a sour curdled berry edge takes over. Medium-heavy bodied. Slick. Flat. Astringent finish. Not great. The sour milk just takes over.

Half-pint, cask ale at Castle Tap. Shared with Finn. A deep ruby glint to a off-black body, low beige head. Roasted malty smell, hint of pine. Dark malty favours offset by pine needles. Rounded ending, malt-fruity. Clean on the swallow. Pleasing to a certain degree. (Reading 20.10.2019).
