Rioja Barrel Aged Beers

The nights are dark and definately colder, so why not treat yourself, hunker down and indulge. Not only do we have three beautiful Rioja Barrel Aged beers, but we’ve also teamed up with Teesdale Cheesemakers to bring you the perfect pairing….

The Lady In Red – Alc. 5.7% vol.

The base beer is our core Best Bitter – Lady Marmalade – a classic, sweet, full bodied beer. Nine months in Rioja Barrel has transformed this in to a lighter and mildly tarte beer with a beautiful acidic zingy aroma, mild tannin notes and a refreshing dry finish.

Pairs perfectly with Teesdale Cheesmakers White Hilton.

Beets Rouge – Alc. 7.7% vol.

Originally Beet de Garde, a Beetroot Biere de Garde this was a big sweet earthy beer and nine months in Rioja Barrel has surprisingly retained much of its original character but also added a great rich wood character, tanin notes and a hint of Rioja fruitiness.

It goes brilliantly with Teesdale Cheesmakers Teesdale Blue.

~

Red Yeti – Alc. 12.2% vol.

The original brew was a collaboration with our friends at Brew York, a Botanical Quadrupel full of aniseed and sweetness. The orignal beer is still very much present but dialed up to 11. It has the added character of the barrel, Rioja notes, sherry, leather, tanin and a great dryness.

This makes a great paring with Teesdale Cheesmakers Barney Brie.
