Beware American brewers – this is the year of British hops. Fuller’s of Chiswick are proud to unveil their latest seasonal ale called Brit Hop, available in Fuller’s pubs and selected freehouses throughout April.
Brit Hop (4.1% ABV) is brewed with an incredible eight British hops, including an award-winning Admiral 2012*, used for the first time by Fuller’s, brewed in collaboration with Hardknott Brewery, from Cumbria.
Hardknott head brewer Dave Bailey and his wife Anne travelled down to London earlier this March to take part in the first brew with Fuller’s brewing team.
John Keeling, Fuller’s head brewer, was pleased to be reunited with Hardknott: “I’ve worked with Dave before, on a beer last spring called ‘The English Experiment’, and this time it was Dave’s turn to visit my brewhouse.”
“This is the most varieties of hops that we have ever tried in one beer, and I think probably the most British hops ever used by any other brewer on the planet!”
“The beer was inspired by our very own Chiswick Bitter, which only uses British hops as well. Think of Brit Hop as Chiswick on steroids!”
A new brew for 2013, Brit Hop is a full-flavoured, but not overpowering, fruity beer, with spicy, peppery notes, rich gooseberry and vine fruit flavours and a soft, sweet aftertaste.
“I am really pleased to be linking up with Fuller’s” said Dave, “I had a great day in the brewery, but the main thing I contributed was to shout “MORE HOPS” at every possible opportunity!”
Brit Hop is a limited edition brew which will only be available until the end of April in Fuller’s pubs and selected freehouses.
