So the big news here at Abbeydale HQ as we start to look autumn-wards with our beer releases is that Pilgrim is back! Our 5.0% Pumpkin Spiced Ale has become somewhat of a cult classic for us and we know there’s lots of people who look forward to it along with us. After the success of the Pumpkin Spice Latte inspired Twilight Pilgrim stout version (also 5.0%) last year, that’s making a very welcome return too, and we’re completing the trilogy with a special release of Imperial Pilgrim, weighing in at 8.0% but with the same delicious blend of cosy spices as the OG. All will be available in cask, keg and can too, and we’re all pretty excited here to unleash this trio on bars across the city and beyond!
Also getting ready for Autumn we have Harvested, a 4.1% pale ale brewed with Galaxy hops. Expect a fruity beer with refreshing tropical character alongside a clean, grapefruit bitterness and a subtle spiciness in the finish.
We’re incredibly excited to launch the “home” leg of our collaboration with Devon’s outstanding Utopian Brewing, who hosted us to create a Nelson Sauvin hopped lager last year. In keeping with this theme, we’ve created Nelson Pale (5.2%), which uses Nelson Sauvin in whole cone, T90 pellet and Cryo form for a bold and hop forward pale ale. Tropical fruit, citrus and hints of elderflower on the nose, followed by a smooth body and a crisp, clean bitter finish.
And next from our Mythical Creatures series is Failinis, a 4.2% Citra, Columbus and Cascade hopped pale ale which promises a predominantly citrus character with subtle black pepper notes in the background, followed up by a pleasingly robust bitterness.
Cheers!
Welcome back pilgrim pumpkin ale – great beer
