Bottling Baltic Trader

Summer Mayhem Finished?

So has the summer mayhem finished? Well we have now sold the last of our Summer Dream and have been out picking green hops for our next seasonal ale Hop Harvest, so yes, it must be.

We have had a pretty manic summer here, we have been really busy brewing, selling and also getting our smaller plant up and running.

The smaller plant is now brewing which makes life easier for us and also allows Tim to do some experimenting with new brew and one offs.

The 1st brew to come out was our Lurcher Stout and 2nd back by popular demand was our Canary Pale Ale at 3.8% that has been greatly appreciated by the pubs around Norwich (wonder why). Sitting in there at the moment is our Baltic Trader 10.5% Imperial Stout.

Tim has designed a new brew using some fantastic new Australian Hops ‘Australlian Summer’ 3.8% Will be available November.

Tim was out yesterday picking fresh hops to be used in our next seasonal ale ‘Hop Harvest’ So they are about to get put into the copper and our Hop Harvest will be ready next week.

Our ‘Hop Harvest’ is a A bright Wheaten Ale brewed with “green” wheat straight from the combine harvester of a local farm and “green” freshly picked hops from a Suffolk Hop Yard! Available late September / early October till the end of November.
