NEW LOWER GRAVITY ALES AT KESWICK BREWERY

Wednesday 13 November 2024

Keswick Brewery is producing a changing range of 3.4% abv beers, on sale in their Fox Tap bar

Named after the hops used, the current ale is brewed with New Zealand hops and is called Nelson Sauvin, pictured above.

The hops are selected on the basis of the intense flavour they produce, which offsets the low alcohol content of the changing beers and some will be made using English hops.

American footnote : during Prohibition in the United States it was still legal to sell beers and wines of 3.2% and under !
