Description
Box Social Brewing was established in 2015 by father and son duo Steve and Ross Holland. The brewery's aim is to create new and exciting beers to get people talking to each other and question their perception of beer.
After a long time working out of Steve's garage, brewing beer really just for ourselves, we decided to take the plunge and set up shop in a small industrial estate in Newburn on a 6 Barrel kit. We built a small tasting room on site so people could come and taste the freshest beer possible and began working on our beer range. Four years later, we were selling out of beer faster than we could make it and decided we had to take the next step.
We moved into our new 15 Barrel brewery in February 2019. This has allowed us to create not only better beer, but more of it!

Caña en el lúpulo feroz Oviedo 27..08..2019 Color negro con pequeña capa de espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco tiempo casi por completo. Sabores maltosos tostados con toques quemados ligeramente carbonizados. Se esperaba algo más de dulces pasteleo. Cuerpo ligero a medio fácil de beber con suave amargo final algo seco. Se esperaba algo más de densidad y finura. Normal

44cl can @ Fira del Poblenou, BCN, bought at Box Social booth. Cuivre, col fin blanc-cassé. Arôme entre encore dans un caractère de dessert, douceur notée au nez avec ce côté vanillé/sucré de marshmallow et un retrait de purée de baies dont surtout la mûre se fait ressentir. Palais est doux avec une pointe d'aigreur sur la fin. Cette dernière reste présente tout au long et accompagne un caractère doux/soyeux de marshmallow - le fruité de mûres et cassis est présent, la myrtille bcp plus discrète.

44cl can @ Fira del Poblenou, BCN, bought at Box Social booth. BB 17/01/2020. Orange, col blanc-cassé retombant vite. Arôme offre de suite un bouquet marqué par le beurre de cacahuète. Le tout garde un rétro léger sur la vanille avec un côté houblonné modéré. Palais reste centré sur une douceur de vanille, léger lactose et côté extrait de beurre de cacahuète. Le tout n'est pas excessif. Plus dans une direction bière de dessert avec une fine amertume de fin de bouche - touche biscuitée.

44cl can bought @ Fira del Poblenou, BCN, Box Social booth. Brune foncée/noire, col moyen café au lait. Arôme est malté grillé, café et chocolaté, pointe de fruits rouges rappelant un peu la framboise, douceur latente en rétro. Palais est malté grillé, léger en bouche avec une fine douceur vanillée et de lactose qui donne cet effet de marshmallow. La base de porter est plaisante - reste un peu dans un cas de bière dessert.
