Past Cask Club Beers
MARCH: Hop County
Kicking things off will be Hop County Hopping Mad Pale Ale. This glorious golden ale combines ale and crystal malt with a trio of English hops, Boadicea, Endeavour and UK Cascade.
With light caramel notes and citrus, pine and hedgerow fruit aromas it is the ideal ale for spring drinking. It has an ABV of 4.8%.
The beer is named to reflect Shepherd Neame’s location in the heart of Kent, England’s original hop county and celebrate the advent of Spring.
APRIL: Samuel Adams Blonde Ambition
April will see the arrival of Samuel Adams’s Blonde Ambition, brewed to a recipe devised with our friends at the Boston Beer Company and combining US and Kentish hops. It has an ABV of 4.2%.
Brewed to a recipe devised in conjunction with the Boston Beer Company. This summer pale ale blends the grapefruit notes of US hops with the grassy earthiness of Kent hops.
