We’ve got something very special for May, our first ever collaborative Fresh brewed with The Veil. The Veil, who are from Richmond Virginia, have become famous for their ‘juicy’ IPA’s, so much so that people regularly camp in their carpark overnight to make sure they’re first in line when they go on sale at the brewery.

The malt grist appears to be a simple one - just ale malt and oats - but for the base malt we especially imported Pearl, a traditional English barley variety known for its rich bready character. We’ve been waiting for this malt to arrive for a while, and it turned up just in time for The Veil brew. The yeast is Burlington, a strain that’s synonymous with New England IPA’s. For the hops we’ve gone heavy with Citra, one of The Veil’s favourites, Australian Galaxy and harvest fresh Nelson Sauvin and Motueka from Freestyle farms.

Fresh IPA, a rolling, ever-changing, monthly series of one-offs, brewed in small batches and available only from our brewery outlets and only while stocks last. Each batch is an opportunity to try a new brewery fresh IPA, unfiltered and unfined, showcasing a unique combination of yeast, malt and hops. Just fun, fresh hoppy beer at its best.
