History

When we started developing Ginger Tipple in 2015 we anticipated a variety of future beers, and now with five of them, we need an extra page on our website.

The Ginger Tipple

8.2% ABV made from a mix of Chinese and organic gingers. Dry hopped with German cascades and  2nd fermented with organic honey and fresh citrus juices. This is in the style of a Belgian strong blonde, to be drunk cold and pairs well with fatty dishes like paté, shepherds pie, mussaka and lasagne.

 

Ginger Tipple 4

4.7% ABV made the same way as the regular Ginger Tipple, but with less sugar. This makes a smoother beer with a different level of ginger flavour to its stronger cousin, more like a Pilsner. It is easier to drink in larger quantities which makes it great for meals on to drink by itself on hot days.

 

Tipple Hop

6.8% ABV positioned strengthwise in between the regular Ginger Tipple and the Ginger Tipple 4. It has double the quantity of hops and less citrus juice added when bottling. Not hoppy enough to be in the world of IPAs, but definitely a beer to drink a few bottles of when with friends.

 

Ginger Quad

10.8% ABV this quad style Ginger Tipple has extra darkness and body. It is lightly hopped with brewers gold and matured with French oak. Second fermented with organic honey, the result is an interesting fugue of oak and ginger, which will accompany the best of smoked meats and mature yellow cheeses.

 

Ginger Kriek

8% ABV This one takes 6 months to create. Belgian morello cherries, Noordkrieken, are fermented in one month old Ginger Tipple. Two months later, it is bottled with organic honey and left to second ferment for two weeks. The it has to sit for three months before it is ready to drink.
