Award-winning Black Sheep Brewery has announced the launch of its latest seasonal cask beer bringing some much-needed cheer for real ale drinkers. The new brew Islander is available in cask to pubs from August and it's the perfect pint for enjoying in sun-baked beer gardens.
At 4.5%, Islander is brewed with Pacific hops including Nelson Sauvin Galaxy, Taiheke and Rakau. It will take drinkers on a journey to the southern hemisphere with its grapefruit, mango and gooseberry notes combining to create a refreshingly fruity pint with bags of flavour.
The finished brew combines those vibrant flavours with iconic Yorkshire brewing techniques, to create a deliciously fresh pale ale with a rasping dry finish. Jonny Kirkham, head of sales and marketing at Black Sheep Brewery, said: “Our latest cask beer captures a taste that will be new to Black Sheep beer lovers. Cask beer fans need to try this one, as it’s the first time we’ve delved into brewing with Pacific hops and is certain to deliver ultimate refreshment and flavour.
