Brampton Brewery Joins EU Debate With Two Special Beers
Brampton Brewery in Chesterfield has brewed two special beers for the EU referendum.
Chris Radford, Brampton Brewery said: “There generally seems to be a lack of any real facts available to support either camp – I believe people are engaged with the idea of the referendum, maybe more so than some other elections, but deciding quite which way to vote seems to be proving a difficult decision for many people with the lack of “real” information.”
“We came up with the idea of brewing a beer to represent each camp. The only stipulation was that both beers had to be the same strength – 4.4%. We’ve then left it to two of our brewers to come up with a recipe reflecting each side of the debate. ”
The two beers Brampton Brewery have created are “Brexit” which is quintessentially a British bitter – using only home-grown ingredients from North Yorkshire malt varieties to a range of hops grown in the hop fields of Hereford, Worcestershire and Kent. Finally the yeast strain originated from a traditional British regional family brewer. “Stronger In” is thoroughly influenced by Europe – continental malts, a wide range of hops grown across Europe and a yeast strain more suited to a continental-style lager than a British ale.
Brampton Brewery will be encouraging pubs to take a cask of each beer and to hold their own vote and feed them in to the brewer’s own poll on the run up to the referendum.
