A Yorkshire Wolds brewery has launched the first in a series of four seasonal brews for a Leeds-based supermarket chain.
Wold Top Brewery’s Alpine Pale is the spring/summer edition and is available exclusively in selected Asda stores throughout Yorkshire and the north of England.
Wold Top’s MD, Kate Balchin, explained the rationale for the launch: “We were speaking to the buyer at Asda about range changes, and they mentioned that a new, seasonal beer, with the same ABV for each one, would be a great addition to their range, so this is what we’ve done!
“It’s a brand new recipe focusing on the different flavours imparted into beers by hops from different growing regions. Alpine Pale is a fresh, pale ale made using European hops, which bring soft floral notes, a gentle spice and a clean, refreshing finish. It will be followed later in the year by beers brewed using British hops, American hops and New Zealand hops, respectively.”
Alpine Pale, 4.6% ABV, is gluten free and vegan friendly.
Wold Top was founded in 2003 and is located on the Mellor family farm at Hunmanby Grange near Filey. The team use home-grown barley and water from the farm’s borehole to produce a range of award-winning cask, keg and bottled beers that are available nationwide.
