Salcombe Brewery Co. is delighted to announce the launch of Belgica, a new Belgian pale ale, the first of a range of small batch beers to be released this year. Belgica will be available on tap in pubs from 21st March and from 28th March in 330ml cans (12 x 330ml cans RRP £25) from retail outlets, including the brewery shop and online for nationwide delivery from www.salcombebrewery.com.
Head Brewer, Sam Beaman, comments: “We are very excited to be launching the first of our new small batch beer range. This novel collection is a fantastic opportunity for us to combine our creativity and expertise to deliver some stunning new beers to complement our award-winning ales. The first of these, Belgica, is a cracking traditional Belgian pale that sets the bar high.”
Belgica (5.0% abv) is a light amber beer that has a smooth malt base, gentle hop character and bags of flavour from the yeast. It boasts a gentle, toasty and nutty aroma from the malt, while the yeast brings an unmistakable spicy and fruity aroma to the beer with hints of pear drop and banana. This is the ideal pint to enjoy with roast lamb, so the perfect accompaniment for your Easter spread.
Sam continues: ”We are only planning to brew around three thousand litres of each of these new beers so fans will need to make sure they act fast to experience these limited edition ales. We are already working on perfecting others in the range which will probably include an IPA and a stout. It’s going to be an exciting year for us and our customers as we continue to extend our selection of beer styles!”
