For those of you who are new to craft, we thought we'd tackle some commonly asked questions. If you are a craft aficionado, scroll down to the incredible selection of award-winning beers below!
So, what’s a Pale Ale then?
A Pale Ale is a typically golden to amber coloured style of ale which is brewed using an ale yeast and predominantly pale malt.
And what’s the difference between a Pale Ale and an India Pale Ale (IPA)?
When it comes down to it, a Pale Ale should have a nice hop character but medium build, whereas IPAs tend to be bigger, hoppier beers and have higher ABV (Alcohol By Volume) and IBU (International Bitterness Units).
Then what’s a Brut IPA then?
A Brut IPA is a bone dry, fizzy, champagne-like and light bodied beer with plenty of hop aromatics. This new style of IPA is named after the word ‘Brut’ used in the champagne world to describe how dry the wine is.
OK, so what’s the difference between an IPA and an APA (American Pale Ale)?
The short answer is that IPAs are hop-and-alcohol-heavy pale ales, originally created to last lengthy shipping times, while APAs have a balance of malts and hops, with a lighter character and citrusy punch to them.
Righto, tell me about Hazies….
A Hazy, like the name implies, has a cloudy appearance, one you can’t see through like other beer styles. The blend of malt and hops, along with less filtering before packaging, yields a beer with lower bitterness than other IPAs and hop character that’s decidedly fruity—you’ll often hear ‘juicy’ as a flavour descriptor, like a tasty bite of ripe citrus.
Is a Pilsner just another lager?
Basically yes, a Pilsner is a lager with the addition of spicy hops. A Pilsner is brewed with pilsner malt and lager yeast, with the addition of spicy hops to add flavour and aroma. The beer is bottom fermented which distinguishes it from ales. Essentially a Pilsner is a lager dialled up!
