To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, Westerham Brewery are relaunching our Hop Rocket brand!
First brewed in 2013, their latest edition will be launched with Apollo hops in the boil. To commemorate the Columbia command module of Apollo 11, we will add Columbus hops, along with Centennial (to mark the half-century). A late hopping of Comet and Chinook will see the Hop Rocket off to the fermentation tank, where a generous dry-hopping of Amarillo, Citra and Simcoe (representing the three-man crew of Apollo 11) will add classic American pine and citrus notes to this 4.5% Session IPA.
A SUPER FRUITY AUSSIE CORKER!
Sometimes it’s good to be able to taste one hop in isolation in order to be able to really appreciate it.
In this delicious single hop IPA we showcase the best of the Topaz hop flavour profile. Fresh resinous aromatics, juicy fruit and a thirst quenching citrusy bitterness matched with a rich malty base really hit the spot. Over the years we’ve brewed various single hop IPAs using the same recipe, only ever changing the hop: Topaz is the one which has stood the test of time.
The hop level in Maverick IPA is a little more trad than in our canned IPAs, being nicely balanced and integrated within the beer.
Lightly caramelized malts provide the central core, but the American Cascade is still the main attraction bringing grapefruit and floral aromas to the beer, which finishes with a clean, refreshing bitterness.
Brewed using the finest Extra Pale and Cara malts and double dry hopped with an infusion of Chinook, Ahtanum, Nelson Sauvin, Cascade and Amarillo hops.
Expect an explosion of tropical fruits on the nose and insane hop flavours balanced with the Cara malt backbone.
In times of despair we all need our spirits lifted.
Piney Sleight is brewed using a blend of Maris Otter, Munich, Vienna and Cara malts with a handful of flaked oats for smoothness. Mosaic and Simcoe whole hops give powerful hints of ripe mango, blueberry and passionfruit with a subtle pine forest aroma.
Piney Sleight is a local landmark at the top of Cheddar Gorge
