Booths Top 5 Ales this Christmas
“Beer is something that everyone can appreciate and there’s a whole new flavour profile of beers in the UK. ” –Pete Newton
Eden Gold Magnum £14, 2L 4.2%
The most famous beer of its county, the Cumbria born Eden Gold is delightfully refreshing with a fantastic flavour. Continental hops and traditional floor malted Maris Otter barley is handpicked to create this distinctly blonde and flavoursome ale.
This ale is available at Booths in an extravagant 2 litre Magnum, an ideal gift for ale lovers this Christmas.
Hawkshead Windermere Pale Ale £2.30, 500ml 4%
This Lakeland ale is highly refreshing, very pale ale, bursting with hoppy character and a fine fruity aroma. The blend of three traditional English hops and the modern American hop, Citra, give it its distinct taste. A fine northern champion, fit for the shelves of Booths.
Coniston Old Man Ale £1.75, 500ml 4.2%
One for the more complex taste palate, this ale has a distinctively rich flavour and is a true ale tasting experience all of its own. Ideal for Christmas parties and festive food accompaniments.
“A radically different beer… it has roast barley added to the pale and crystal malts. It has a deep burnished copper colour, a rich port wine aroma, a big chocolate and creamy malt palate and a dry, grainy, roasty finish balanced by hop bitterness and tart fruit. It is a remarkably complex beer that deepens and changes as you sup it.”
– Roger Protz, CAMRA
Eden Brewery Hop Rocket £3, 330ml 7.8%
This Cumbrian brewed ale is sure to tickle your festive taste buds. Hop Rokket started life as a limited edition beer. But its global fusion of Old and New World hops proved so popular it is now officially unlimited and regularly available. With American hop favourites chinook and cascade, combining with the British admiral and rakua from New Zealand, it’s something of a hop who’s who. This deeply flavoursome combination is met with a distinctive alcoholic kick for a unique taste experience.
The Booths Ale Crate £30 for 6 bottle and bespoke crate.
This delicious selection of Booths’ favourite northern ales are gift-ready this Christmas in a bespoke wooden bottle crate, with its own built in bottle opener. Championing northern breweries this selection features products from long-standing Booth Country brewers such as Rudgate, Ilkley and Weetwood Breweries. Available at www.gifts.booths.co.uk
