Brew Notes

Best poured slowly, 1845 delivers a sweet, fruit cake aroma, a dark tawny colour and a dry finish that sings of spices and raisin. Those fruity characteristics harmonise perfectly with the biscuity malts amid a clever and complex range of subtle flavours, the depth of which you could only find in a live beer fermented in the bottle.

Raise a Glass

Matured for 100 days prior to its release, allowing the character and depth of flavour to develop into something truly special. It’s brewed with amber malt - a popular 19th century ingredient that’s now thriving once again. 1845 is the beer that started its renaissance.

Bootiful, just bootiful

I enjoy hand pulled beer BUT even though I have a very very good real ale pub close by my palate regularly craves the taste of a traditional pint of bitter as opposed to new age, new world IPAs (as good as they are). This is why I like 1845 so much. Pour it and let it stand in the fridge for 30 to 45 minutes and it tastes just like a hand pulled pint, as all the gas has left it. Bootiful, just bootiful!
