The beers 👇

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗻 ‘𝟭𝟴 (𝟵.𝟭%) - Every year we brew a variation of our Imperial Stout, The Brother Sean. Traditionally we have brewed it with a different Belgian yeast and aged it for one year before release, whereas The Brother Sean 2018 uses a French saison yeast. The resulting beer is dry, spicy and indulgent. Far more easy drinking than its ABV would suggest.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭 ‘𝟏𝟖 (𝟗.𝟏%) - An unreleased version of The Brother Sean 2018 which has been spiked with the wild yeast strain Brettanomyces brux here, adding an element of funk to this classic Anspach & Hobday dark beer.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐥-𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 (𝟕.𝟒) - A batch of The Porter we put into lightly used speyside barrels and then spiked with Brettanomyces brux to carry out secondary fermentation in the barrel. Coupled with a significant amount of time for ageing and maturation, The Barrel-Aged Bretted Porter is a wonderfully unique twist on our flagship beer.
