Craft brewer Meantime has launched a new Pilot Series of small-batch beers that will regularly showcase “new and unique” offerings from its facility in Greenwich, southeast London.
A new style of beer will be released every two weeks, Meantime said, brewed in a high-tech Bavarian-style brew house with capabilities to brew smaller volumes while ensuring there is no compromise on quality. It added that the series would provide the company’s brewers with the opportunity to experiment with different styles and flavours, new hop varieties and other ingredients, and process.
The first three beers within the series are Rye-PA, a 6% ABV rye IPA with a distinctly malty flavour; Sunset, a 9% ABV Imperial Red Ale packed full of flavour; and Ctrl-Alt, an Altbier inspired by an ancient German style of brewing.
Richard Myers, marketing director for Meantime, said: “Meantime has always strived to introduce the British public to a wide range of great beers and open their minds to trying something different. The Pilot Series gives us the perfect opportunity to continue to push the boundaries of modern craft and have a bit of fun experimenting with some unusual beer styles. We’re proud to say that innovation and quality are the heart of everything we do, so expect to see some great beers coming out of The Pilot Brewery in 2016.”
The range will be available exclusively on draught in a small handful of specially selected partner outlets across London, and Meantime will run a series of exclusive tasting nights throughout the year to showcase and celebrate the wide range of beers being produced.
