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.

15/1/2020. Bottle from Topsham Wines, Topsham. pours clear golden with minimal head, quite a lifeless pour. Aroma of caramel, sweet malt, fruit, boiled sweets and slight boiled veg. Quite heavy caramel sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, slight sticky texture, soft to flat carbonation. Quite disappointing.
