#449 WildBeerCo | Wildebeest Imperial Stout 11%ABV (English Craft Beer)
Brewery - WildBeerCo (Somerset,UK)
Beer - Wildebeest
Style - Imperial Stout
ABV - 11%
IBUs - 65
Commercial Description - Ideal for contemplation and speculation, this is the liquid equivalent of the lotus position. Our Imperial espresso chocolate vanilla stout, Wildebeest is a judicious selection of pale and dark malts to which is added the highest quality Valrhona cocoa nibs and freshly roasted Columbian coffee.
Best enjoyed sipped from your favourite brandy snifter, while sitting comfortably in a plush armchair, preferably next to a roaring fire. The vanilla pods add something a little special to the character of the beer. Helping produce an elegant, creamy, soothing confection of aromas and flavours. It’s like a rich dessert in a glass.

Beavertown Brewery:
Beavertown was set up in December 2011 by Logan Plant in the kitchen of Duke's Brew and Que, in De Beauvoir, Hackney, London. The brew house, situated opposite the two Smokers of the BBQ restaurant, runs at 4BBL per brew (650 litres - 1150 pints).
In March of 2013 we moved out of our home at Duke's Brew & Que and into our new brew site at Unit 4 Stour Road, Fish Island, London E3 2NT. Now with a little bit more space we can push the boundaries of brewing and get more beer out to the thirsty masses. In May 2014 we moved to our new 11,000sqft space in Tottenham Hale. We upgraded to a 30BBL (50HL) brew house. We also sat our 'heartbeat' 4BBL kit next to Big Beaver to constantly push our core range, experiments and minds!

Jester King Brewery:
Located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, Jester King Craft Brewery is an authentic farmhouse brewery committed to brewing artisan ales of great depth and character. At times drawing influences from the world beyond traditional brewers’ yeast, Jester King’s beer is not rushed to market but allowed to mature – often in oak barrels – to create the most enjoyable, interesting and exciting beer we can make. An additional layer of complexity is added to Jester King’s bottled beers by allowing a second fermentation to take place in the bottle. As part of its commitment to sustainability, the slow food movement and Texas, Jester King beer uses as many organic and local ingredients as possible and will soon be brewed with harvested rainwater.

Verdant Brewing Co:
During the autumn of 2014, Adam & James hatched a plan to get their hands the bangin’ hop-forward beers that weren’t available in their local. Verdant Brewing Co began life inside an unassuming shipping container. Today the boys have their very own brewery and taproom based in the beautiful seaside town of Falmouth with a brewing capacity of 10bbl offering the ability to brew 3 times a week. They also have Rich, the third member of the team. This is independent small batch beer at its best. Get some!

#522 Beavertown Brewery | Tropicgamma Tropical IPA 6%ABV (English Craft Beer)
Brewery - Beavertown Brewery
Location - Tottenham Hale, London.
Beer - Tropicgamma
Style - Fruit IPA
ABV - 7%
IBUs - 60
Reviewed on - 3rd February 2017.
Commercial Description - The most consistent descriptor for our flagship beer, Gamma Ray, is “a tropical fruit punch” most likely owing to the huge tropical aromas of mango and grapefruit from Columbus, Bravo, Amarillo, Citra and Calypso hops. For our 1000th brew in Tottenham we wanted to take these flavours into the stratosphere with a REINTERPRETATION designed to pay homage to the mighty Gamma, but with totally different ingredients to get it to its tropical peak. Tropigamma is a tropical IPA brewed with lactose, bucket-loads of pineapple juice and mango puree in the whirlpool with the hops, and mandarin, papaya, passionfruit, guava and lime juice towards the end of fermentation (all contributing to an intensely hazy fresh fruit juice in the morning beer). Juicy tropical fruits combine with big bold hops on the nose to lure you in with complex aromas of citrus, ripe mango and pine. The flavour is fruit driven (obviously), leading with sweet mandarin, tangy passionfruit and round mango and finishing with a satisfying hoppy, bitter bite with the addition of oats keeping the drinking experience smooth and round. This is literally a fruit explosion in a can!
