Sussex Exclusive talks to our ‘dot-joiner in chief’

Lucy Pitts from Sussex Exclusive talks to our ‘dot-joiner in chief’, MD and co-owner, Lesley Foulkes, about casks, conkers and continuums.

Here’s an extract from the article, which you can read in full on the Sussex Exclusive website.

“At Langham Brewery, we brew three or four times a week and produce about 2,500 hectolitres of beer a year. We’ve got our five main signature beers: Session Bitter, Hip Hop, Best, Arapaho and Session IPA and we cask condition our ale, which isn’t done by many breweries anymore. It’s a process that allows a secondary fermentation in the cask creating a beer that is naturally carbonated and is not filtered or pasteurized. This really helps develop the character of the beer.

We are also very collaborative. When we developed our Arapaho beer, I contacted their heritage society and we’re still friends on Facebook. We also got approached by What3Words to work with them so we developed some beers around our words: Hence.Mute.Lizards. More recently, we collaborated with an American brewer for D-Day and we’ve just collaborated with our hop supplier to create a beer called First Swallow.”
