Black Ale at Red Hill Brewery

17th May 2011

The weather is perfect for our next three seasonals, the sky is dark, the malt is all shades of black and the tunes in the brewhouse are very black.  Time to move to the dark side and get into the Blacks

First up, brewed last week, is our "Brewers Choice" India Black Ale.  This is a brand new beer for us.  You may think, so what, other brewers have made that before. It is exciting for us for two reasons

1. Our brewers, Tim and Simon, have been brewing our range using our RHB recipes for 3years now, their job is to make every brew, every week, for each style, the same as possible.  It can get boring. So to brighten up their day, we asked them to brew one that they choose, their recipe, whatever they think. This is what they think. They trialled it for numerous batches on their homebrew systems and we've all had fun trying them. Now they get to see what you think.

2. It is uncharacteristically out of style for us, and for those of you who know us well, we are all about brewing to style. So it's pretty different for us, even if others have nailed it before us.

Despite the yeast getting held up in customs and a scheduled two day power outage, eventually we are brewing our Gold Medal winning Imperial Stout. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

Then it's time for Weizenbock, our tall, kinda strange, dark German.  He has his fans every year, and we are looking forward to getting stuck into brewing this one too.
 

WHERE CAN I TRY ALL THESE BREWS?

 AT OUR BREWER’S SECRET STASH SAT 4th / SUN 5th JUNE
