Our tribute to one of London’s most popular exports! Our all grain recipe clone of London Pride by Fullers is inspired by long afternoons drinking with friends, enjoying time together.  This beer features the finest malts possible from Simpson, including the beautiful DRC (Double Roaster Crystal) malt which adds a dry fruit undertone to the malt character. The use of 3 hop varieties at the aroma stage of the boil gives a pleasant hoppy aroma whilst not masking that beautiful fruit forward note form the malt. The use of White Labs WLP002 brings an authenticity to the beer which can’t be easily replicated by other strains.

This beer is perfect for drinking on a Saturday afternoon with friends or in front of the fire on a cold evening!

Comments:

Ferment at 18c for 10 days or until final gravity is reached and stable. At this point hold the temperature for a few days to allow the yeast to clean up any diacetyl prior to packaging.

This beer will do well in most packaging conditions but for real pub authenticity then why not try drinking this through a beer engine connected to a keg or on draft from a kegerator or keezer.
