Introduction // Beer market
08.
09.
Beer is made from four ingredients: malted grain, water, hops and yeast. The idea is to extract the
sugars from grains so that the yeast can turn into alcohol and CO2, creating beer.
Altering the ingredients during the brewing process even slightly, can have a dramatic impact to the overall
flavour and style.
Production
1. Milling & Mashing
2. Lautering
3. Boiling
4. Seperation & Cooling
5. Fermenting
6. Maturing
7. Filtering
8. Packaging
Malted grain is gently crushed
and added with hot water to a
mash tun. This breaks down
the starch into sugars.
The mash is pumped into the
lauter tun, where a sweet liquid
(known as wort) is separated
from the grain husks.
The wort is is then boiled in
the brew kettle. Hops are
added to contribute additional
flavours and aromas.
The wort is transferred into
a whirlpool for the wort
separation stage. Any malt or
hop particles are removed.
Yeast is added, which
consumes the sugars in
the wort producing alcohol,
flavours and carbon dioxide.
The fermented beer is
transferred to the maturing
tanks where it settles and any
sediments drop to the bottom.
The beer is filtered in order
to remove all solid particles,
then carbonated before being
packaged.
The beer is packaged in
bottles, cans and kegs for
shipping. It is then ready to be
poured, savoured and enjoyed.

From the IPA’s that were
created to travel the seas
to British colonies, to the

century transportation
workers of London, it’s clear
that England has a diverse

A fine ale with big, bold, citrus,
pine hop flavours and subtle
toffee malt notes. Robust, smooth
and full-bodied on the palate.The
recipe for Crystal Rye IPA was
created by Adnams brewer (and
certified hop freak).
This pale blonde has bags of bold
mango, peach, lemon and pine
flavours with a dry hoppy finish. Big
& fruity - it’s a one-hop-wonder!
Golden in colour and light on the
palate with tropical fruits, citrus
and passion fruit hop flavours
from dry hopping.
A cross between a wheat beer
and an IPA, Hibernation is cloudy
and full bodied like a wheat beer
but tastes like an IPA.
US Mosaic hops are bred from
Simcoe and Nugget hops, taking
the best of these varieties to
provide clean bitterness and
outstanding flavours and aromas.
Mosaic are similar to Citra, only
they impart more intense flavours.
This is the first lager that has
ever been brewed at Adnams.
They didn’t just want to make any
standard lager though, and using
their years of brewing experience
they have created something
bold, bright and tasty.
Made with 95% Maris Otter
malt, Spirit has a US style hop
profile that is beautifully aromatic,
balanced and flavourful with a
quenching dryness on the back of
the palate.
Brewed using the finest pale ale
malt and three complimentary hops,
Goldings, Bramling Cross and
Chinook. In balancing these three
exciting hops they have created a
powerful yet drinkable harmony.
Belinda, who was excited to
be able to let her passion for
American craft beers shine

Named after the Kermode or
‘Spirit’ bear of British Columbia
which has a pale yellow coat.

Curious Brew Lager uses East
Anglian malt, Saaz and Cascade
hops, then re-ferment using
Champagne yeast before adding
a “dosage” of the rare and
fragrant Nelson Sauvin hop.
Matured with oak to give a
delicate balance of sweetness
and bitterness, it’s a dark,
deliciously distinctive beer.
An IPA brewed with a blend of
malts, to give a full bodied amber
beer. The beer is specially brewed
with three hops used to dry hop
in the cold maturation of the beer,
giving a very distinctive hoppy and
fruity flavour and aroma.
Frontier’s aroma highlights citrus
zest. Its first sip is clean and crisp,
with a cool and refreshing finish.
It’s mouthfeel is biscuity, with a
slight linger, but not over bitter.
An extremely smooth and well
balanced lager with a surprising
but subtle chocolate aroma.
Made with genuine chocolate this
is a unique and versatile beer.
Imported American Cascade and
Centennial hops create complex
citrus aromas that pair brilliantly
with Kentish Goldings hops that
impart the traditional bitterness
expected from quality pale ales.
Using soft water allows Meantime
to get the most from the light malt
used to make this lager, whilst the
neutral yeast means it is only the
hops and the malt which imparts
flavour to this great lager.
This beer has bags of character
with a fruity citrus edge
(grapefruit and clementine)
combined with tropical fruit notes,
but with restrained bitterness
imparted by the caramel malt.
Frontier is brewed with new-world
hops and old-world brewing
techniques, plus crafted for 42
days to give a better mouth feel
and fuller flavour. Brewed with an
ale yeast the beer is memorable,
yet sessionable.
This is the world’s first chocolate
lager, using actual chocolate
and not just malts to achieve a
refined taste.
150 years ago London brewers
had to import Californian hops to
meet demand. Meantime continue
this tradition by blending US hops
and Kentish Goldings to achieve
a complex aroma and a bitterness
that is uniquely refreshing.
Utilising the ingredients from
London’s back yard. Meantime
use the finest East Anglian
malting barley and Kentish hops
to create this long matured,
unpasteurised quintessentially
English lager.
The Yakima Valley in Washington
State is regarded as the best
hop growing region in the world.
Perfect temperature, rainfall,
sun exposure and soil imparts,
spectacular fruit and citrus flavours
with a restrained bitterness.
Curious Brew is a fusion of brewing
and wine-making techniques from
England’s largest winery.

A pale straw coloured pilsner with
complex pine and spice flavours
with an elegant bitterness that
perfectly represents the true
pilsner style.
The rich malty and bready character
of mixed chocolate and coffee
character notes create an authentic
and complex taste you would
expect from a London porter.
The best quality imported German
pilsner malt and their own blend
of German and Czech Saaz hops
contribute to a beautifully-rounded
lager, which manages to be both
refreshing and satisfying.
This crisp golden Pale Ale is
brewed from Maris Otter pale ale
and Caragold malts. Complex late
hop additions give a citrus fruit
finishing together with a smooth
refreshing palate.
Porter was the great London
beer style of the 18th and 19th
centuries when London was the
global brewing capital. Named after
the legions of porters working in
the docks, streets and markets
who drank this powerful beer.
The immediate impression of this
citrus dominated IPA is soft and
smooth building to a crescendo of
massive hoppiness, accentuated
by honey with an enduring, bitter
finish. A fantastically well-balanced
beer that’s dangerously drinkable.
Chiron pale ale is golden in
colour. Subtle but a spicy aroma
with citric notes from the hops,
balanced by biscuity malt and tart
citrus fruit. Crisp, balanced and
wonderfully refreshing.
This Bavarian-style pilsner, like
all the worlds great lagers is
the product of long and cold
fermentation and maturation
in order to allow the flavour to
develop and ripen.
The natural mocha flavours of the
4 different roasted malts used
to brew this rich dark beer are
complemented by the real Belgian
dark chocolate added during
maturation. Warm, complex and
smooth it has a long clean finish.
An unashamedly traditional pilsner
style lager that cannot be rushed.
Long cold fermentation and
maturation, with their specially
selected yeast, is essential
to achieve the fully-rounded
continental flavour.
Created but a stones throw from
London’s iconic Western gateway
using a unique blend of UK
and US hops to deliver a cool,
refreshing craft beer with just the
right hop hit.
Light gold in colour and pours
with a pure white head. It has
aromas of light bitter lemon with a
hint of herb and subtle spiciness.
Light bodied and easy drinking
the flavours are crisp and dry with
a lingering citrus finish. Summer
in a glass!
Boutique Beers // 2015
At first glance it is tempting to think
of a dessert or digestif beer, but in
fact it goes very well with casseroles
and stews, or Mexican chilli.
Jaipur is named after the city of
Jaipur in India. This is where Jim
Harrison (co-founder) had his
honeymoon with his wife, Emma.
Chiron is named after the
Mythical Centaur who was the
mentor of Achilles. There is a

This trans-atlantic fusion IPA is
light golden with tropical fruits and
caramel on the nose. The palate
is resinous with the New Zealand
hops balanced by biscuit malt.
The finish is aggressive with hops
emerging over warming alcohol.
Big citrusy aromas of lime zest
and lemongrass explode from
the glass, against a light caramel
malt backbone, with blossoming
resinous hop aromas. At first sip,
there’s a brittle toffee malt flavour,
before grapefruit and pine crash in.
The nose is a riot of citrus and
berry aromas, from orange
and lychee to redcurrant. On
the palate is a bold resinous
bitterness which builds against
the burnt sugar sweetness.
Vagabond melds citrus and
tropical hop flavours with a
light caramel malt base which
is backed up with a raucously
resinous bitterness.
Brewing a full flavoured craft
beer at 0.5% is no easy task.
Packed with five different hops,
dry hopped to the brink and back,
Nanny State is a force to be
reckoned with.
A superbly-balanced and
refreshingly lively beer. It has a
malty-sweet aroma with a floral,
fruity hoppiness and a zingy, zesty
flavour. Complex, rounded, sweet
and dry; this is the connoisseurs’
session beer par excellence!
An IPA that has become a
byword for craft beer rebellion;
synonymous with the insurgency
against mass-produced beer.
Charges the barricades to fly its
colours from the ramparts full-on,
full-flavour; at full-throttle.
Boutique Beers // 2015
West Coast kicks. Paying hopflecked homage to the glory of
the Pacific Coast, Dead Pony
pale ale has been crafted with
an insane amount of US hops,
delivering massive citrus aromas
of lemongrass and lime zest.
Bittersweet chaos, 5A.M. is
clarity condensed into a single
moment. Everything laid out
before you is static, but nothing
is set. The road runs straight into
the shimmering distance. It’s time
to take that ride.
A hop forward Pale Ale, that
just so happens to be gluten
free. Brewed using 100%
malted barley, US hop varieties,
pure Scottish water and their
clean-fermenting house ale yeast,
Vagabond is missing only one
thing - gluten!
With eight different speciality
malts and grains, Nanny State
will tantalise your taste buds and
leave you yearning for more.
First brewed in 1997 after
a wee fracas broke out in
the brewhouse. Nobody can
remember exactly who was called
“bitter & twisted”, by whom, or
even why! But it was one heck of
a name-day for this great beer.

Schiehallion is a stunning lager with
elegant head and luscious lacing. It
has “aromas and flavours of freshcut grass, brown sugar, lychee and
green mango” [Melissa Cole] with
a crisp palate and a lingering, fresh,
grapefruity finish.
This gloriously amber coloured
ale is made the Simcoe hop.
The result is a fantastically fruity
finish with malty undertones.
Take a glass of Broken Dial and
discover a thirst quenching, palate
enlivening sip of ale.
A remarkably smooth, creamy brew
with a velvety mouthfeel. Flavours
of coffee, buttered toffee, dark
chocolate and earthy hops. Some
mild cherry fruit within the residual
sweetness, neatly accompanying
the roasted flavours.
A smoky Worcestershire sauce,
leather and grilled steak aroma.
Flavours of smoky-sweet malts,
roasted peat, coffee beans and
a well-bittered finish. Overall this
is a rather exotic brew with a
defined barrel influence.
Golden honey in colour with a smell
of caramel and rich roasted malts.
The taste is incredibly smooth with
a delicious toffee character and
a light hop fruitiness. Great with
curries, grilled seafood, goodquality burgers and juicy steaks.
Ruby red in colour with a smell of
fruit and mulled spice. The taste is
surprisingly light. Soft fruits and rich
malt with aromatic spiciness from
the rum. Great with gamey meats,
like venison or duck, or mature
cheese and a quality chutney.
Light gold in colour with a smell of
mown grass and clean grapefruit.
With a taste of rich vanilla from the
oak, with lots of zestiness and a
light hop bitterness from the hops.
Great with spicy curries, salty pork
crackling and fried chicken.
Pale gold in colour with the
aromas of lemon zest, macadamia
nuts and sweet biscuity malt. A
Crisp Helles-style taste with soft
aromatic hops and rich nuttiness
from the oats. Great with fried
chicken or fresh fish and chips.
Like the famous mountain it takes
its name from, their gutsy craft
lager, Schiehallion (pronounced
“She-hal-e-on”) brings intense
reward for the sort who like to
plant their flag at the very top.
Broken Dial is one of the
newest ales that the brewers
have passionately created. The
beer has been entered into two
competitions and it’s won both!
They have piled in oats to smooth
the bitterness from the roast
barley and laid on a super-hightemperature mash to make the
wort less fermentable. The result is
a black beer that has sweetness, a
full flavour as well as a light texture.
Gaelic for ‘black oil’, created in
2007. The first ale to be matured
in whisky barrels from a named
distillery, with traceable casks.
Taking Old Engine Oil and ageing it
for six months in casks that used to
hold Highland Park 12 YO.
Discovered by accident in 2003
in a Scottish distillery. Matured
originally in hoshead casks that
had held bourbon. Now matured
both in cask and the Oakerators its
blended so a percentage of every
batch has sat for weeks in a cask.
Rum Finish is the second
biggest selling Innis & Gunn beer
worldwide. Its matured in oak
infused barrels with Navy and
Demerara rums.
This beer is hopped three times
with the third charge of hops
added right at the end of the
beer making, releasing the more
delicate citrus and floral aromas
and flavours out of the hops.
Unoaked and brewed with a
combination of their own lager malt
and naked golden oats which give
a smooth finish. Naked golden
oats are cultivated to grow without
husks so they can extract more
flavour from them during brewing.

Brewed since 1896, It has a deep
bronze colour with a thick creamy
head. The palate is full and
malty with a beautiful bitter hop
aroma - a unique beer universally
recognised as a classic that traces
back to the Gold Rush era.
With deep black colour, a thick,
creamy head, rich chocolate,
toffee and coffee flavours, and
full-bodied smoothness, Anchor
Porter® is the epitome of a
handcrafted dark beer.
Its golden colour, distinctive
aroma, creamy head, balanced
depth of flavour, and smooth
finish make this beer a delicious
celebration of California’s unique
craft brewing heritage.
With a deep amber colour and a
exceptionally full-bodied, complex
character. Generous quantities of
premium Cascade hops give the
Sierra Nevada pale ale its fragrant
bouquet and spicy flavour.
Torpedo is an aggressive, yet
balanced beer, with massive
hop aromas of citrus pine and
tropical fruit infused using the hop
Torpedo for the first time.
This porter is brewed in the
hop-forward American style and
featuring a depth of malt flavour
and complexity with roasted notes
of black coffee and cocoa.
Anchor Porter® became the first
modern American porter style
beer when it was introduced
in 1972. It is the definitive
American porter.
In 1876, thanks to an ice pond
in the mountains and a belief that
anything is possible in the Golden
State, a brewery named Boca
created California’s first genuine
lager. This is their re-creation of
this historic American beer.
Pale ale began as a home
brewer’s dream, grew into a icon,
and inspired countless brewers
to follow a passion of their own.
It is, as it always has been, all
natural, bottle conditioned and
refreshingly bold.
In 2009 a better way to dry hop
than traditional methods became
possible with the invention of the
Hop Torpedo. It is a steel device
which enables the manipulation of
the dry hop process through time,
temperature and speed.
Porters were invented as a
fortifying drink for the rough-andtumble working class of London’s
bustling markets. It was brewed
for good folks with calluses on
their hands, doing work that
needed to be done.
Fritz Maytag, who saved the
Anchor Brewery from closure
in the 1960s, is widely credited
as being the father of American
craft brewing.

A hop lover’s dream. With the
colour of bourbon and a fruity
aroma, set off by a dry malt
middle, and long hop finish from
the six varities used.
An all-day IPA naturally brewed
with an array of malts, grains
and hops. Balanced for optimal
aromatics and a clean finish. The
perfect reward for an honest day’s
work and the ultimate companion
to celebrate life’s simple pleasures.
With a floral bouquet frothy head
and citrus accents from the
abundance of dry hopping, this
one’s sweet, yet balanced malty
undertones shake hands with the
hop character for a finish that
never turns too bitter.
A Colorado-style IPA, power
hopped with speciality hops from
the Pacific North West. This
is the brewery’s hop monster
and the citrus fruit aroma will
hypnotise the senses.
Ranked as #1 in the USA by
the New York Times. Brilliant
amber colour and dry hopped with
buckets full of Cascades for an
unrivalled hop flavour and aroma.
This is a true representation of
the American pale ale.
Aromas of grapefruit and spice
meld into lemon and pine hop notes
balanced with crisp cracker malt.
Pair this American IPA with BBQ,
Mexican or spicy Asian dishes or
just on hand for anything that calls
for a light , flavourful beer.
A Vienna-style lager, deep amber
in colour, it has a superb balance
of sweet malt and crisp bitter hop
as well as being dry hopped for
even more flavour.
Northern English brown ales tend
to be strong and dry, while southern
brown ales are milder and sweeter.
This combines the best of those
classic styles and then adds an
American accent in the form of a
firm hop character and roasty palate.
This beer used to have a somewhat
more controversial name than the
functional “Pale Ale”.
Easy IPA is the first beer in their
Brewhouse Rarities series of
staff-pitched and elected limited
releases to become a part of the
regular portfolio.
This IPA recalls a time when ales
shipped from England to India
were highly hopped in order to
preserve their distinct taste during
the long journey.

The brewery’s philosophy is that
“We don’t brew beer for the
masses.... We make beer for
people like us.”
Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers
had steady jobs when they decided
to chase their dreams and open a
brewery - quitting their jobs and
taking out huge loans. They figured
if you’re going to live life you ought
to live it hard with no regrets.
The bottle labels are created
by Ralph Steadman whose
artwork is closely associated with
infamous gonzo journalist Hunter
S Thompson.
Working as a journalist in the war
torn middle east beer was hard
to come by so Steve Hindy, co
founder of Brooklyn Brewery,
learned to brew in the bathrooms
of his hotel rooms.
This is the award-winning original
American brown ale, first brewed
as a holiday speciality, and now
one of their most popular beers
year-round.

Brooklyn ½ Ale is a refreshing
beer (as a saison should be!)
dry, hoppy, citrusy and just a little
bit funky. At just 3.4% ABV it
certainly falls well within what
anyone would describe as a
session ale.
This Vienna-style beer combines
the full flavour of ale with the
smoothness of lager. It is a fullbodied, complex, balanced beer
with a caramel sweetness balanced
with distinct citrus and pine notes
and a strong, smooth finish.
Enjoy this classic, refreshing
American style pale ale bursting
with grapefruity citrus flavour.
Dry hopped for greater aroma
and flavour with a quartet of four
American hop varieties delivering a
big, bold, brash hoppy beer.
Brooklyn Brewery ½ Ale harks
back to traditional farmhouse ales,
which used to quench the thirst of
farmhands and other labourers on
hot sunny days. These saisons
were complex yet clean, low in
alcohol and high in refreshment.
The recipe for Samuel Adams
was one that Jim Koch’s greatgreat grandfather, Louis Koch
had made at his brewery in St
Louis, Missouri in the 1870’s.
Beer born out of a conversation
between Master Brewer at
Shipyard Brewing Co and Master
Brewer at Marston’s to craft
American-style pale ale to satisfy
the British drinker.

Chimay Gold has a subtle
combination of fresh hops and
spices. It has a fruity touch of
Muscat grapes and raisins.
Beautifully balanced, Light in
body, pale in colour and strong
in character. It combines the
refreshing drinkability of a lager
with the aromas and full body of
a fine ale.
Kwak is a dark, warming beer
with liquorice-like flavours and
a slightly spicy character. The
background bitterness emerges
delicately in the finish.
La Chouffe has a hazy, goldenblonde colour. It is pleasantly
fruity, spiced with coriander and
a distinctive flavour of fresh fruits
tinged with hops.
Leffe Brune has a delicate taste
of vanilla and clove paired with
the full aroma and taste of toffee
and caramel. Dark brown in
appearance, it takes its colour
from darkly roasted malt.
Kwak is usually served in its
iconic “Stirrup Cup” glass, which
is so “collectable” that some bars
in Belgium require the deposit of
a shoe before handing one over.
8% bottle conditioned golden ale
from Belgium. The product label
is easily recognisable due to the
friendly elf bearing hops and malt.
Leffe Blonde is a classic Abbey
beer with smooth and well
balanced fruity, warming flavours.
The beer has hints of quince,
gooseberry, bitter cherry and
apple flavours together with
cloves, nutmeg and allspice.
Since 1862, the monks of
Chimay began to brew their first
beer according to the monastic
traditions of natural brewing and
top fermentation, followed by
refermentation in the bottle.
Boutique Beers // 2015
This top fermented beer is
re-fermented in the bottle
and undergoes a ninety day
conditioning process. Duvel
means devil in Flemish and it is
certainly sinfully deceptive.
Leffe traces its origin back to the
Abbaye Notre Dame De Leffe.
A testament to how the brand has
stayed true to its original brew
Leffe’s unique brewing heritage
is now shared and enjoyed by
consumers worldwide.
A perfect beer to sample among
friends, while you read a good

or cheese and it goes perfectly
with spicy, caramelised or sweet
and sour dishes.

Sharp at first but sweetens with
a hint of peppery bitterness.
Fruity and cleansing, soft and
dry balanced cherry taste, with a
perfect equilibrium between the
sweet and sour aspects.
A summery, refreshing fruit beer
that is delightfully sweet, with the
sparkle of Champagne and the
freshness of a nicely chilled glass
of wine.
Unique in that it is unpasteurised
and continues maturing in the
bottle. After three months it is light
golden with cinnamon and banana
aromas and a caramel taste. After
eighteen months, it is deep golden
with a more pronounced spiciness.
Premium lager with a crisp,
clean, dry taste ensuring ultimate
refreshment and quality. Pleasant
lemony fragrance, with light
creamy maltiness beneath.
A delicious refreshing taste,
surprisingly crisp, punctuated with
an orange and lemon like zest,
rounded with a mildly bitter taste
and dry finish.
Vedett translates literally as “Star”
in both Flemish and French
and every back label features
imagery or content that has been

Part of the Vedett family and
featuring the same zany back label,
both the taste and appearance are
distinctive. A Belgian top-fermented
white beer which is unfiltered bottle
conditioned. Adjuncts include
wheat, lemon zest and coriander.
With a mild bitterness which
increases in intensity, revealing
hints of grapefruit in the finish
before giving rise to sweeter
caramel notes. It has a longlasting, dry aftertaste that continues
to tantalise the taste buds.
Brewed only once a year, the
beer is enriched with a selection
of freshly picked Morello cherries.
It is maturated for up to 3 years
in the cellars, different vintages
are blended into what is a unique
‘master blend’.

Germany has a rich heritage

Beer Purity Law”.
In 1516, this law stated that all
beer should be created with just
three ingredients - water, barley
and hops. The Rheinheitsgebot
is no longer part of German
law, it was replaced by the
Provisional German Beer Law in
1993 which allows components
such as yeast, wheat malt and

Brewed with noble hops, good
quality malt and pure water this
Pils has a wonderful balance
with a crispness on the finish
that adds up to the distinctive
Krombacher taste.
Made using two different brewing
methods and the same ingredients
as standard Pils: one interrupting
the fermentation process before
alcohol starts to develop, the other
withdraws developed alcohol from
the fully-brewed beer.
Fresh and fruity with apple and
banana, light biscuity grains, with
hints of spice with a full, and
ultimately refreshing taste
The use of more than 50% of
wheat malt in addition to barley malt
and traditional bottle fermentation,
gives the top-fermented wheat
beer a sparkling taste. Very few
breweries still apply this complex
brewing method.
The nose is a soft wheat with
hints of baking bread and clove.
This Hefe-Weizen has a special
strain of yeast that provides zesty
flavour. The mouth feel is lightmedium and wheaty smooth with
a perfect blend of carbonation.
The isotonic drink is free of
chemical additives, fat and
cholesterol. With slight infusion
of alcohol and the only beer
pasteurised by the brewery.
Krombacher is authentic and
original, imported from Germany.
Brewed only in one location
(Krombach) using Felsquellwasser,
very soft mountain spring water
which is sourced from 48 springs
around the brewery.
“Beer, it’s the
best damn drink
in the world”
Jack Nicholson
Krombach appears in documents
for the first time around 1300,
and over the centuries had 100
to 200 inhabitants. Although
evidence suggests that there
were a number of diverse brewery
establishments prior to this.

V in 1537 when he built
a brewery next to the
Manzanares river to supply
his court with ice cold beer.
It continued to grow in
popularity with Phillip II ensuring
it continued to be produced

France
Starting in the rural
farming communities beer
production in France is not
only the end product but
they also cultivate brewing
ingredients.
It’s the largest producer of
barley in Europe and the worlds
largest malt exporter. One of
the most popular and historical
styles is Biere de garde or “beer
for keeping” which was brewed
in the winter and enjoyed during
the summer months.

A top fermented beer made
with hops from three continents.
It’s a mix between a “Biere de

aromas of citrus and lychee with
a hoppy but refreshing aftertaste.
The brewery was started thanks
to a group of actors from the
movie “Germinal,” which was
filmed in northern France.
Beer in Japan had its start
in the 17th Century when
travelling Dutch traders
opened a beer hall for
sailors working in the ports.
In 1996 the law in Japan opened
up the industry to allow the
creation of microbreweries, one
of which was Hitachino Nest.

one of Hitachino’s top-selling beers
in Japan and the USA.
The distinctive Hitachino Nest owl
logo originates from the Japanese

even realised it was gluten free - I just really liked it!
Boulevard Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale
After pushing hoppiness as far as it will go US craft
brewers have turned to yeast to find new forms of
expression. This is a beautifully balanced mash-up of
modern American and traditional Belgian craft styles.
Harviestoun Ola Dubh
One of the original and still one of the best barrelaged beers. The perfect beer to drink by a camp
fire as dusk falls.

Melissa’s Top 3
Adnams Mosaic Pale Ale
Mosaic is a hop that can sing arias when it’s given
the right stage and here it’s produced a symphony
of tropical fruits and nettle-like bitterness.
Hitachino Nest White Ale
As if Belgian-style wheat beers weren’t refreshing
enough, Hitachino has added not only the usual
coriander seed and orange peel but nutmeg and orange
juice - slightly tart, and delicious with salmon sashimi.
Mateo & Bernabé Santiago 25
Brewed to the style of a lower alcohol Belgian dubbel,
with warming cinnamon and clove aromas and a rye
bread body, it has a hint of the barley wine to it with rich
red fruit nose and silky sweetness - a real class act.

Beer & food guide
“Never underestimate how much
assistance, how much satisfaction,
how much comfort, how much soul
and transcendence there might be in
a well-made taco and a cold bottle
of beer.”
Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume
There just seem to be some things that
are synonymous with a beer aren’t there?
Burgers and beer? Sure.
Pizza? Well obviously.
And of course a ploughman’s, pork pies,
sausage rolls and salty bar snacks will
naturally make our minds jump to a cold one.
Boutique Beers // 2015
But when does beer suddenly lose its
place at the table? At what point do ales,
lagers & lambics turn from the most
welcome of guests to spectres at the
feast? When we reach a certain price
point for food perhaps, or when we start
laying white tablecloths down. Silver
service? Michelin-stars? None of which is
anything to do with beer’s natural affinity
for food so, when you think about it, it’s
interesting how we arbitrarily draw the line
on when beer is and isn’t appropriate.
Because, if you really get to know your
beer, immerse yourself in the amazing
flavours and textures it can offer, begin
to understand the scope of exciting
Four C’s
interactions you can tease out of the
world of brewing, you’ll be amazed what
can happen with even the simplest of
food matches.
However, it’s not always easy to know
where to start, so here are ‘Four C’s,
four tenets that are universal to any
pairing, from whisky to wine, cocktails
to beer, followed by a handy set of rules
(well, more like guidelines to be honest
but rules sounds better) on how to start
your beer & food-matching journey.
These four tenets are universal to any pairing, from
whisky to wine, cocktails to beer.
Cut - think about why you put a sharp orange sauce with rich
meat like duck or a gooseberry chutney with an oily fish like
mackerel and you get the picture of what ‘cut’ means.
Complement - probably the simplest to spot. If you have a
chocolatey, tropical fruit or bready beer, pair it with similar flavours.
Contrast - a salty blue cheese? Why not try a sweet, fruity beer
like Crafty Dan Big Ben? Or balance out a sweet creamy curry
with a big bitter beast like Celt Bleddyn? Find the polar opposite
of your dish and see whether it will work in harmony.
Create - one of the most simple things I’ve ever done is put a white
chocolate button with a dunkelweisse which immediately created
banoffee pie - it was amazing. When your whole becomes more than
the sum of its parts, you know you’ve got a winner.

Four rules
Rule No.1
Know your beer
Rule No. 2
Intense scrutiny
Rule No. 3
Descriptive, not prescriptive
Rule 4
Get creative
The better you know your beer, the more successful your
matches will be.
The majority of the time, you’re looking to match levels of
flavour intensity
Your tasting notes should at least make you hungry and thirsty
when you write them!
Just as you know your regular customers’ peccadilloes, like Bill
likes a tulip beer glass but Hilary favours a dimpled mug, so
knowing each beer’s flavour profile inside and out will help you
better understand which dishes it will be friends with.
We’ve all had that experience where we order a wine or cocktail in
error, or are recommended it for whatever reason, and whilst the
drink itself is sublime it either stamps all over your chosen dish with
size 11 hobnail boots or, disappears meekly into the background.
Broad brush strokes make for a clumsy picture. Just as there
are 100s if not 1,000s more nuances of flavour in even the
most simple of dishes, so there are in the accompanying beers
and you need to find your common grounds between them.
On a more practical note, it can also allow you to identify precisely
when your beer is not at its best and deal with it accordingly.
This rule is applicable about 95% of the time, then other times
you’ll get certain beers, sours generally being the exception to
this rule, where your beer can be a bit more dominant but still
work well with a dish.
Boutique Beers // 2015
Get into the soul of the beer (hence Rule 1) and you can be
descriptive enough to get your customers mouths watering
about the interplay of, for example, the chocolate and umami
interplay of Curious Porter with truffled macaroni cheese or
that the way Meantime Yakima Red simply bursts with red
berry and peppery nettle notes that joust so well with a passion
fruit cheesecake or how the dry, tart and herbal elements of
Boulevard Tank 7 offer an exquisite contrast to the sweet,
unctuous nature of a prosciutto, goat’s cheese & pea puree tart.
Your first point of contact with your customer could be your
drinks menu and it pays to advertise! Entice them, seduce them,
woo them with your words... a malty beer with a hoppy finish
just won’t cut it.

Glass boutique
So what’s in a beer glass?
Hopefully beer, but there’s
much more to be found.
We know that serving good
quality beer in a branded glass
is proven to enhance the
consumer drinking experience.
As soon as the beer hits the
glass, eye candy receptors tune
in, and anticipation is tweaked.
Hidden nuances, become more
pronounced, colours shimmer,
and the enjoyment of the beer
simply becomes a better, more
complete experience.
Boutique Beers // 2015
Branded glassware
isn’t just a way of
presenting good quality
beer at its best.
Studies show that the
shape of glassware
will impact the head
development and
retention of the beer.
Foam created by
pouring a beer acts as
a net for many of the
volatiles in a beer.
Volatiles are
compounds that
evaporate from beer to
create its aroma, such
as hop oils, all kinds of
yeast fermentation
by-products like
alcohol, fusels and
fruity esters, spices and
other additions.
So a glass that
promotes a healthy
foam head may well
enhance the trapping
of certain volatiles.
That’s why we can
provide you with
our Boutique Beers
glassware when you
buy products from our
range, alternatively
our suppliers can you
support your outlet with
branded glassware.
For further details or
