Brewed using the special Boadicea, Bramling Cross and Goldings hops and matured in a Somerset Cider Brandy Company oak cask, the ale comes in a 750cl Champagne bottle housed in a wooden presentation box.
The 10.7% ale is one of the first ales produced in the UK to undergo three fermentations, as well as full ‘riddling’ and ‘disgorging’, which is normally only carried out by the finest Champagne houses, and can be drunk immediately or can be laid down for many years to mature.
To celebrate the number of years Hall & Woodhouse has been brewing, 235 bottles of the Collector’s Edition 2012 will be released, each bottle hand-numbered and signed by chairman Mark Woodhouse.
Available from Badgerdirect.com at £50 a bottle, plus postage and packaging.
