We take great pleasure in bringing over a 40ft container of fresh beer every six-weeks from California knowing the beer was picked up the week it was packaged and it’s been refrigerated from leaving the brewery to arriving at our London warehouse.
Yesterday saw the return of Palate Wrecker from Green Flash which is one of the most audacious beers ever brewed. Rather than sticking the wort into a ferment
er, the brewing team put it back into the brewing process for a second time by using the wort as if it was water. This double-brew is incredibly hard to get right and brew commercial volumes – but it creates a massively tasty beer that we had the pleasure of tasting in the office yesterday. Man, oh man… it’s awesome and I don’t think stocks will last long.
Also arrived is Windows Up from Alpine which was the first keg to kick at the Green Flash Treasure Chest event in Virginia Beach – even though it wasn’t actually on the blackboard. Originally called ‘Hot Box’ the US label approval folk didn’t like it due to its cannabis association so they had to tweak the name. Suffice to say, this is a MASSIVE hop-bomb of the finest order. As it’s a seasonal release, enjoy it now before it vanishes.
There’s fresh beer in from Ironfire, Black Market, Belching Beaver and Modern Times and we’ve got a few cases of new beer from Fall Brewing.
Expect these to be in Bermondsey tonight for the REDCHURCH TAP TAKEOVER still cold from their journey. They’ll be in Canterbury and Margate next week as well as for our Wholesale customers.
