Brew By Numbers – 42|04 DDH Pale Ale – Number Four

For 42 | 04 we turned the hop intensity dial up to 11!! This insanely double dry hopped beer blasts out a full spectrum of Orange, Pineapple and Grapefruit right into yer face!! Golden promise and flaked oats keep the rhythm tight, whilst our New England ale yeast jams out zesty licks on the bass.

Hops: Centennial, Chinook, Simcoe
Yeast: Lallemand NE
Malts: Golden Promise, Wheat, Oats

Magic Rock Brewing – Yeah Yeah Yeah

Dave from Wylam Brewery travelled down from Newcastle and not only came on the daily bread pick up, but also made a beer with us. We have a long-standing friendship with Wylam, so we were happy to finally have them over to brew. Dry hopping it with predominately Loral and a touch of Lemon Drop, this DDH Brut IPA is effortlessly floral, with a dry finish. True to style this beer is dry, crisp and refreshing.

Northern Monk – Dark City 2018 // Crème du Cacao, Vanilla & Butterscotch Imperial Stout // Devils Delight // Lervig Aktiebryggeri

When planning the beer to mark this transition we set out to make the biggest, deepest, and dare we say, the most sensual drinking experience to draw us into the expanding night. We convened with our brothers in the dark, Lervig Aktiebyggeri, to concoct a beer that refuses to hide in the shadows. Hitting the highest OG from our brewery so far at 1.129, we layered eight malts with two hop varieties and added a mountain of yeast to devour the sugars within. To add to the experience we rounded the beer with butterscotch and vanilla to make the silkiest smooth finish possible, with an alcohol level to keep you warm through the long, cold nights ahead.

A tribute to the impending and imposing winters of the north, to fire and metal, to the wonderful brewers who will join us for this; the darkest of festivals.
