The Gilbert White house and the Triple
fff Brewing Company have teamed up to produce a beer from a recipe by
Gilbert White himself.
Gilbert
White was born in Selbourne in 1720. During his life there, he was curate of
St Mary's church. His spare time was taken up with studying nature. From his
observations of the world around him, he produced a book, "The Natural
History of Selbourne", which is one of the all time best selling books in
the world, and still fascinates and delights audiences today. He was a keen
brewer, and kept records of his ales and beers, brewed by his man Thomas. He
once remarked "I ... Know that my strong beer is much admired by those who
love pale beer."
Gilbert White beer is an adaptation of one of Gilbert
Whites own recipes. Keeping as close to the original as is possible,
using only the finest carefully sourced hops, and smoked barley, the result
is a strong, 6.0% ABV, smokey ale, golden in colour with a moderate hoppy
bite. Not only is this beer available on tap, it is also been bottled
"bright", so that every last drop can be enjoyed! |
