Unique Aspect
Fungi are at the heart of our brewery. Yeasts are micro fungi that do the hard work in making beer, we just feed them and put a roof over their microscopic heads. But it’s the amazing flavours and untameable nature of wild yeast strains that really excites us and when it came to pairing macro (mushrooms) with micro (yeasts) in a beer, it had to be the Chanterelle.
Further layers are added with a hint of spice derived from fragrant white peppercorns balanced with a freshness from flat leaf parsley. This is the ultimate parinig to your mushrooms on toast!
Food Pairings
The perfect pairing for this beer would be wild mushrooms on toast. The beer’s mushroom derived umami will stand up to some seriously intense flavours while the acidity will cut through any richness / fat.
You can also think of the beer as an addition to a dish - Replace your white wine in a mushroom Risotto with beer and reduce it down to a create a beautiful sauce
