We harvested over 10kg of hops and brewed a very special batch of beer on our experimental brewery. We have just kegged this beer and the aroma brought me straight back to harvest day....mmmm.

...if you helped us pick the cones or helped out by bringing some of your own hops, your first pint is on the house.

Same great hop flavour and aroma, just a different badge.

You will start to see 69 IPA rolled out to some of our more adventurous draught accounts and we will be launching it in bottles in several weeks time.  In the meantime, you can always come to the tasting room for a glass or a growler.

The result is probably one of the best barrel aged beers that we've tasted.  We've picked up a lot of vanilla and other sweet flavours from the wood which perfectly balance out the dark chocolate and roasted notes in the base beer...check out a very kind review of this beer here.

We have a very limited amount of this beer available for tasters on the bar in the tasting room.  We will have bottles ready in time for Christmas, so stay tuned.

Dark Reserve No. 2

This first phase of the project is in preparation for more tanks, kegs and some automated keg cleaning equipment.  The second phase will see our own brew plant dropped into our space and visible from the tasting room.  Also, a very exciting 3rd phase is in the discussion stages which would see a significant increase in space available for both our brewery operations and tasting activities.

Very exciting times here, I hope you will be patient with the organised chaos during these improvements.

As always, it is great to talk to you all about your ideas, whether that be over a pint, via email or from one of our invaluable feedback gatherings.  Keep the suggestions coming, they are much appreciated.

This family run business is a wonderful oasis in what has become a homogenous grocery market.  Fisher's are very keen to help promote local producers and their support of Lovibonds is no exception.
