Stone Beer
As a tribute to the brewers of the Middle Ages we brewed it by adding wood fired stones to the kettle to rouse the boil and intensify the malt characters of the brew.
Long before the wizardry of steam was invented, brewers used stone and wood to brew their daily beer. They built a fire to heat large stones until they were hot enough to be added to their wooden vats to create a boiling brew. Apart from the obvious heating effects, the brewing stones also caramelised the brew to create subtle but rich toffee like flavours.
We have a perfectly good boiler, but it is those intense malt flavours from caramelising the wort that we have gone to great lengths to create. To add further complexity we then added the sticky cooled stones to the fermenter to let the yeast have a real treat feeding on the “wort candy” during fermentation.
Stone & Wood Stone Beer has a deep red hue and a rich caramel malt character balanced with firm hop bitterness.
Alc / vol: 5.3%
We only make Stone Beer in small batches so it may not be available all year round.
