East London based brewery, Signature Brew (www.signaturebrew.co.uk), is on a mission: to revolutionise the quality of beer at live music events. Launched in 2011, Signature is the world’s number one brewery for band collaboration beers, having brewed with Idles, Mogwai, Alt-J, Slaves, Mastodon, Frank Turner, Rodney P, Enter Shikari and many more. This summer sees the launch of two new beers: C-Sharp, a fresh Sicilian Lemon & Citra Sour and, back by popular demand, Dry Hopped ‘Festival Saison’ (both £3.15 per 330ml can).
Life has handed everyone lemons recently, Signature thought they’d turn them into something tasty! Going one better than making lemonade, they have brewed up a mouth-watering Sicilian lemon and Citra hop sour, C-Sharp (4.5% ABV). Its slightly hazy yellow appearance is matched by an aroma of lemon meringue with hints of lime and elderflower – the ideal beer for hot summer days.
Long-time fan favourite, Festival Saison (4.8% ABV) is back by popular demand for Summer 2020. Signature considered cancelling Festival but then they thought, “NO, It’s bad enough we can’t watch bands in a field with our friends. Why should everything good be cancelled?” So here it is, back again, one of Signature’s all-time most popular seasonals. Grass under foot. Beer in hand. With dry, big-hop flavours & a fruity aroma, it’s sunshine in a glass.
This beer is a tribute to the music festivals we all love and the people who work tirelessly to make them happen. Festival season will be back, but Festival Saison’s NOT cancelled.
Led by founders Sam McGregor and Tom Bott, the Signature brewery team is made up of musicians and music fans alike and – with an unwavering commitment to quality – Signature Brew has channelled the spirit and energy of live music into a brewery that stands for craftsmanship, artistry and passion. Brewed in Walthamstow, enjoyed by beer lovers and music superfans globally, their beers are of unrivalled quality, and they were crowned SIBA’s highly prestigious Brewery Business of the Year 2018.
2020’s Covid 19 crisis has seen Signature Brew get creative to keep the beer flowing in people’s homes, creating The Pub in a Box, hand delivered in London by musicians who’ve had their tours cancelled (paid London Living Wage) and delivered via courier nationally. You can see Signature’s main driver, Josh from The Skints (https://www.instagram.com/theskints/) who’ve had their US tour cancelled, as well as their Glastonbury slot, speaking about the deliveries here (https://twitter.com/SignatureBrew/status/1240362688242483201).
When this all blows over, Signature Brew are also selling tickets for a proper piss up in a brewery, as well as two Skints gigs (their first in E17 for 10 years) as something for everyone to look forward to – we can all raise a glass to that!
