The Swift Half #5

This is the swift half #5. At Gipsy Hill we want to showcase good brews. These are the beers that we think are damn tasty!

I’ve set myself a challenge of trying 52 bottled/canned beers in a year. The only real rule for myself is that it can’t be a beer I’ve had before. I’ve gotten a little bit behind in the last 2 week. So heres a double blended whammy to catch myself up.

Blending is something we are seeing more and more. It’s like making your own little collabs.

After visiting the Fourpure guys & girls at Mother Kelly’s last night, I woke up with these 2 tinnies under my pillow.

Souther Latitude is their take on a South Pacific Pale. It’s rounded with hints of citrus and a bit of earthiness. Great lingering after bitterness.

Flatiron is their American red and newest addition to their core range. Malty and toasty. Not a whole of bitterness but still enough to have a little freshness on the tongue.

Pouring the two together, you get a great amber haziness. A rich malt and big hop bittering in the cheeks. It’s become a hugely punchy almost dry hopped red ale. I kind of dig it.

I think I can get into this blending thing.
