October Beer Of The Month: Green & Gold
Welcome to our October Beer Of The Month: Green & Gold 4.3%.
This wonderful new beer is created using green hops that are picked directly from the field and added to the beer within hours of being harvested. The hops are used while they are still fresh and will give the beer a unique flavour and aroma; expect this brew to be light and floral, with a citrus sweetness. It will offer a satisfying bittering bite, followed by smooth spicy notes and a lingering marmalade aftertaste. Beer bliss!
This is a wonderfully collaborative brew between our head brewer James, and our (very capable) assistant brewer Fran Weston. Although a green hopped brew is a new journey for Langhams, both James and Fran have brewed with green hops in their previous roles – James at Wight Knuckle Brewery (with hops from an allotment situated 9 miles away from the brew house) and Fran while he was head brewer at Ballards Brewery.
Using the term ‘green’ also references our recent Green Tourism Award which is the industry-leading assessment framework providing a holistic review of a business’s sustainability performance based on the three key pillars of People, Place, and Planet; we were so pleased to be awarded the Gold Standard. Hence, the name of this celebratory new brew: Green & Gold. See what we did there?!
A word from our designer on his wonderfully luxurious pump clip design:
“I’ve incorporated the Green Tourism award logo on both sides, gold on one side (because you won gold) and green on the other (which is how their logo is) and then used loads of green hops and some wheat/barley to balance the colours. Then, intertwined within the whole design are the Langham swallows”.
We think it’s the perfect design combination and creates a wonderful autumnal asthetic.
