Even in these difficult times little can deter genuine innovation and that is endemic throughout the craft beer world.
This week's exciting news is that a new Hampshire brewery has announced the launch of its first public releases, an imperial baltic porter named 'Living in Darkness' and a double chocolate stout named 'Melody Madness'.
Whilst the owners Mike and Holly have been brewing and developing their recipes over a number of years, these are their first commercially available beers for the public to enjoy.
Breakbeat Brewery is a nano-brewery based in Southampton, which is becoming a hotbed of interesting brewing. Being small they are specialising in "all things imperial" and that they say "We brew what we love, with no sensible options involved and we go against the crowd".
Here at Happy Pint, this is a philosophy that excites us! Definitely 😄
Breakbeat also say
"We love big strong beers and try to brew some of the strongest beers in the UK ranging from 10% imperial stouts to 25% freeze distilled madness."
Their strongest brew to date is an incredible 25.2% freeze distilled strawberry ice cream imperial pastry stout.
Just from the description beer lovers will understand what this brewery is all about – craft beer at its best.
We cannot wait to try their beers.
