The brief was to create an iconic ale for The Thames Path National Trail who were looking to a way of raising awareness and also a way to raise money towards the upkeep of the Thames Path. It was agreed that a golden ale that would satisfy the broadest of demographics was required and therefore a combination of traditional and contemporary hops were used in the brew. The result is a 4.5% full bodied golden with a gentle bitterness and a lingering but restrained fruity finish. Read Less

Brewed in collaboration for Cheltenham & Gloucester Beer Week 2023.

Hoppy-Go-Lucky NEIPA with Nectaron, Idaho 7 & Amarillo
Punchy pineapple, juicy citrus and soft fruit flavours take centre stage, backed by a soft and creamy malt body.

Brewers Tim and David from Hop Kettle were joined by Brewer Donncha from Hawkstone on Friday 11th August to brew the 2023 beer at Hop Kettle Brewery in Swindon.

The Nectaton, Idaho 7 and Amarillo hops were added to the brew with Extra Pale Malt, Wheat and Naked Malted Oats together with Saturated Yeast (WHC). The brew all went perfect and generated 23Hl of which 1900L will go into cask for delivery to the Beer Week venues.

Thanks must go to Crisp Malt, Charles Faram Hops, Barth Haas Hops and WHC Lab (yeast) who all helped with the elements of the brew - to help raise more money for the Beer Week charities. Read Less
