When brewing royalty calls, you answer. Last month, the Signature Brew Crew were invited down to St Austell Brewery in Cornwall at the invitation of brewing legend Georgina Young to collaborate on a cask beer. The result was Never Mind The Dry Hops, this beer is a 3.4% Green Hop IPA with hints of grapefruit.
The beer was front and centre for Signature Brew’s Harvestfest as part of the
Blackhorse Beer Mile and is now available pouring across St Austell’s Cask Club sites. The collaboration saw Signature Brew bringing their modern, music-forward approach together with St Austell’s extensive history of brewing quality beer, resulting in the perfect blend of a beer that’s rooted in tradition with a fresh forward-thinking twist.
Founded in 2011, Signature Brew has built a reputation for their iconic collaborations, including working with musical artists such as alt-J, The Libertines and IDLES. Their mission is to create beers that make music better. Meanwhile, St Austell Brewery, brings 170 years of brewing history, a focus on innovative cask ales, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
Tom Bott, Co-Founder of Signature Brew, shared: “When Georgina Young calls and says, ‘come to Cornwall and brew something special’, you don’t hesitate. St Austell is one of the most respected names in British brewing, so getting to collaborate in that setting, surrounded by fresh hops, great people and a proper sense of tradition, was something really special. Never Mind The Dry Hops captures that shared spirit perfectly: modern creativity built on classic brewing values. It’s a beer we’re really proud of, and one that shows just how exciting British cask beer can be when everyone brings their best to the table.”
Never Mind The Dry Hops is a hop-forward cask ale with a zesty brightness balanced with an earthy freshness. Drinkers can expect waves of citrus, bold grateful, and a crisp malt backbone, finishing with a lively bitterness and lingering taste of freshly picked hops.
Never Mind The Dry Hops is available now across St Austell’s Cask Club venues for a limited time.
