October 5th of this year marked the first International Italian Grape Ale (IGA) Day. Ever tried one? If not, then you might be asking: Italian grape ale? Is that a wine or a beer? Well, IGA is most definitely a beer. But it’s like a beer and wine got very friendly and had a baby. Made with up to 40% grapes or grape must, IGAs are based on pils malt, or pale malt.

Yeast for homebrewers has becoming really exciting! Developments over the years means that you can expect all sorts of exciting flavours in your homebrewed beer just from the yeast. Some of these dried homebrewing yeasts are selected for their ability to withstand higher fermentation temperatures, meaning shorter fermentation times, or allow you to easily brew trickier styles of beer, like lager. Cool, huh?

Great to have David & Susan visit us at MASHED Community Brewery today. Back in the spring they planted one of our Nugget hops as part of our community adopt-a-hop scheme.

This monastic Belgian beer rocks up to the 21st Century with style. Delicately malted and hopped, this brew is a surprising 7.1% ABV - but it’s refreshing and light, ideal for a hot summer’s day. It won’t be long before you are praying for an encore!

This altbier really is magic: it’s a top-fermented lager-like beer, not quite a lager, not quite an ale! It’s an exciting one: bitter yet malty, clean yet floral.
