Dark Ram Ale Recipe

By Gareth Davies on 19th June 2020 Recipes

Black Sheep Ale was served in my local back in the day. I love this stuff and always try to grab a pint when I can. This ale produces a genuine bitterness with big character. With a blend of British finest hops to create a beautiful aroma and flavour, it kicks with grassy freshness with a big peppery punch.

All Grain Recipe: Kölsch

Here’s an example of what we like to drink when the sun’s out – an elegant session beer with a new world hop twist. This is our basic Kölsch recipe – we brew it every year but change the aroma/dry hop each time to mix it up. Nelson Sauvin works really well, as does Mandarina Bavaria, but this one uses Amarillo for a zesty orange finish. Don’t be tempted to up the hops – the finish should be quite subtle and clean.
