Enjoy lazy summer days with Adnams’ new fresh and unfiltered lager, Beach Break, a collaboration brew with Devon-based Utopian Brewing.
Beach Break is an unfiltered Kellerbier style lager that is pale golden in colour with a natural haze. The 4.2% lager contains all British hops, including Fuggles and Godiva, alongside East Anglian Munich malted barley and Helles Fire lager yeast. The selected hops have a European character and a Bohemian style late kettle aroma, while reflecting a British terroir.
Kellerbiers are often served straight from the cellar or from a wooden barrel. This process of serving, and the fact that there is often yeast in suspension, made Adnams Head Brewer, Dan Gooderham, think this would be the perfect style for a cask beer.
Dan Gooderham, Adnams Head Brewer said “Jeremy from Utopian was schooled in Germany, so he brought the methodology, and Adnams has its history with cask – I think it’s quite a nice marriage. British brewing culture is actually quite similar to German brewing culture”
Jeremy Swainson, Utopian Brewing Head Brewer said “Adnams has been doing cask and has this incredible heritage, and Dan and I got chatting about some of the fantastic beers that we’ve had in Germany that have essentially come out of wooden casks. The idea was that we could both draw on our skill sets and come together.”
Crisp and refreshing, Beach Break sings of summer with lemon and cut grass aromas and a fresh, just-tapped taste that is balanced by light cereal and biscuit notes.
