Northamptonshire-based Nene Valley Brewery has teamed up with London venue The Brooklyn Bowl to create a new line of beer.
4.4% ABV Knock Down Punk has been made available exclusively in London’s Brooklyn Bowl, and mixes influences from both the UK and US. The refreshing and easy drinking pale lager is a light, easy drinking kegged product brewed to a precise recipe, the two companies said. Its pump clip is a bowling pin decorated with a carnival punk doll design.
Brooklyn Bowl director of operations Moz Lotter said: “We’re very excited to celebrate the launch of Brooklyn Bowl London’s first house beer. The combination of great British beer, brewed with American Hops, is a match made in heaven. We wanted to enter the craft beer market by bringing the party with a brew serious enough in colour and hoppy flavour to engage the craft connoisseur, but light enough in ABV and on the pocket to keep the party going for a full-on session. We’re all about fun and flavour here at the Bowl and don’t feel the two have to be mutually exclusive. As lovers of live music and good beer, we wanted Knock Down Punk to reflect the needs of the gig-goer.
“We wanted to develop a house beer that wasn’t just a cheap and cheerful re-branding of a generic, mass-produced line but rather something custom-made that matched our unique independent status. We already serve a diverse range of craft beers but wanted to develop something really unique and in keeping with our personality. Nene Valley Brewery exceeded our expectations with Knock Down Punk.”
Dick Simpson, co-owner of Nene Valley Brewery, added: “Right from the our first meeting we recognised that the two businesses shared a set of values that centered around an absolute commitment to quality and providing the best possible experience for our clients regardless of cost. For us this rationale extends to our own restaurant, the Tap and Kitchen, here at Oundle Wharf where we too prepare everything from scratch from carefully sourced ingredients. It’s the same with our beers, and Knock Down Punk is no exception, using the best malted Maris Otter barley and a carefully chosen blend of American Hops to produce a beer we are sure Brooklyn Bowl will be pleased to offer as their house pour.”
