"Imperial" Beers

What? You've never tried Whitbread Double Brown? A lovely beer.

 

Unfortunately no. Neither the original (a bit before my time), nor the rebrewed/recreated version you had a hand in at Yards.

 

Pretty Things and Florence in London have brewed it, too. Cracking beer.

 

Good to hear. Shame that one is out of business and the other is 8-10 hours away by plane, train and tube. (It may indeed be a tasty pint but hardly one worth several hundred dollars. )

Perhaps I'll be making another business trip to London one day and if so I'll remember to visit South London to see what's on offer.

 

Imperial Small Beer....weighing in at a whopping 5.5, or perhaps 6 %. Even better if it were, say, "pale" in color...generously hopped around 30ibus and made with an ale yeast. I'm sure there is a more marketable name for this style of beer.

 

It was a one-off at the Florence, I'm afraid.

Pester a local brewer to brew it. It's one of the best recipes I have. Oh, and suggest they pay me for the trouble of harvesting the recipe. You'd be amazed how many breweries expect me to work for free*.


* Not Pretty Things. And not ABInbev**.

** My AbInbev beer is one of my most exciting projects ever. Should be bottled next month. Can't wait to taste it.

 

Possible to share any info?

 

1. Fruit beers like an imperial pumpkin or a blueberry imperial are super fun and tasty
2. My answers would not be acceptable.
3. Don,t know, don, t care.

 

1. All session beers.
2. Imperial Pilsners. Yes I know they already exist.
3. Not exactly and No.

 

Not until closer to release date.
