Description
Powderkeg are freedom-loving beer obsessives carving our own path with curiosity, creativity and defiance; this is free-thinking beer.
But what is Free-Thinking Beer? We look beyond the established ideas and opinions to revolutionise a style to create something fresh, interesting and always outstanding. In Cut Loose, we re-imagine a classic German-style Pilsner by pepping it up with New Zealand hops; it’s a great example of how moving past traditional techniques can elevate a beer beyond expectations. For maximum accessibility our beers are also Gluten-Free and Vegan.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2016 - London. Pours clear copper with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds brown bread and ripening orange. Light-medium sweet flavour with more citrus character, floral hops, pale grains, pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; nice condition. Finishes with light piney resin, or age rind, pale bread. Highly enjoyable.
