Salcombe Brewery Co. launches new chocolate stout, Maya

Salcombe Brewery Co. is launching Maya (ABV 4.5%), a brand new Chocolate Stout. It will be available on tap in pubs from the end of October and, from early November, in cans (330ml x 12 for £25.00) 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 about this latest addition to our small batch range. For the ancient Maya people, the cacao bean was sacred. They were obsessed with its rich, chocolate taste and believed it was a gift from the gods. This was our inspiration for our new stout which we have infused with organic cacao nibs to add depth and complexity.”

Maya (4.5% ABV) is a Chocolate Stout, created by adding cacao nibs during the brewing process. The caramel and coffee notes from the malt blend perfectly with the rich chocolate flavour from the cacao nibs, resulting in a smooth chocolate stout. It is a dark, warming beer ideal for these colder autumn nights. It pairs well with braised or spiced meats and rich autumnal stews, but is equally enjoyable on its own.

Salcombe Brewery’s range of beers is available nationwide in pubs and hospitality venues as well as retail outlets and online from www.salcombebrewery.com. It is available to the trade directly and through a number of key wholesalers.

Maya will be available from early November, in cans (330ml x 12 for £25) from retail outlets, including the brewery shop and online for nationwide delivery from www.salcombebrewery.com.
