Product Information

Plans to give away a classic MGB sports car have been revealed by Britain’s leading premium ale brand [1] as it looks to celebrate its unique brand history with MG. Nose: Superb Goldings hop aroma ( considering using Goldings for a flavour addition at the end of the boil)

People love to experiment and we should embrace creativity in brewing. If people are trying different stouts that shouldn’t come as a surprise. But Guinness has been enjoyed for hundreds of years. It’s difficult to decode the components of its success but its distinctiveness, in look and taste, is part of it.” People know they can rely on familiar favourites like Carling to deliver. An independent analysis from CGA showed, on average, outlets that removed standard lager significantly underperformed. The below are guide prices for delivery, for more information about how we calculate delivery and how we deliver please visit our Info Centre Standard Delivery Route 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday Some brewers are looking to pins, 36-pint containers that are half the size of the regular nine gallons, to help improve cask beer quality at the bar by shortening the length of time a cask is on tap.

Tasting Notes

This has been evident in the performance of Coors, which is up in value by 14.7% on pre-pandemic levels. That will please Laura Willoughby at consumer organisation Club Soda who wants to see more investment in the no and low sector, noting that a soft drinks firm, Dr Pepper, has taken a big stake in US alcohol-free brewer Athletic. Carlsberg has completely reinvented itself over the past four years and the results speak for themselves. The brand is outperforming the standard lager market, seeing volume and value growth in the last quarter. And CMBC has added Kronenbourg 1664 ​to its portfolio. After a year of experimentation, low-alcohol beer specialist Good Karma has come up with a core range focusing on British ingredients.

While people are visiting the pub less frequently, premium brands are better meeting the occasion – they’re more of a treat.” And brewers and publicans alike are seizing the opportunity to make a little more profit. Some brewers don’t think in terms of cask and keg any more but produce a beer and consider the best way to serve it. I like that approach. It will open up the sector. There’s not a solid line between the two.” Draught will grow, he believes, “but it’s going to take time. At the moment, a lot of pubs are wondering whether they’ll get through a keg so they’d rather go for cans. What it really needs is a big pub chain to grab it by the throat then others will follow. One entry per person. No bulk, machine generated, consumer group or third party entries will be accepted.

LEVEL HEAD SESSION IPA

Our core business remains cask but we feel the breadth that Hopical Storm brings to our range gives pubs greater choice to meet drinkers’ needs.” The Suffolk-based brewer launched its first foray into craft beer last year with the debut of Flint Eye, a dry-hopped lager, and Level Head, a session IPA.

The first Outland beers include a West Coast IPA that, Mountford says, is “accessible, giving people what they expect but, on the flipside, we’re also doing a milk stout and a ginger pale ale, something different, without being completely out there”. Greene King has been getting closer to drinkers, understanding their needs and motivations, and the barriers to them drinking ale. In the past 12 months, we’ve seen a stabilisation of trends in the on-trade. For example, despite accelerated levels of premiumisation through the Covid years, core standard lager has maintained its share of lager for the past six months. With 25% of younger drinkers preferring lighter-style beers, and 49% premium options, newcomers such as 4% Heineken Silver​ helps operators drive revenue. Yet sales data shows light lagers are undervalued – often sold at only 5p more than the cheapest lager on the bar.A very interesting smell on the nose, I am getting a whiff of caramel and toffee notes, but it is very light, and also it smells of pale malts, some fruits and light grains. Light but interesting.
