BEER STORY
Dark and deadly, this seasonal brew is one for the woodburner rather than the wakeboard. What started out as Nick’s passion project got rave reviews when we tested it out on our super-keen panel, so we’re letting it loose on the wider public. The strongest brew in our range so far, drink in moderation or accept that it’ll be a slow start in the morning.
And for the beer nerds amongst you, although created in the countries around the Baltic Sea (places like Poland, Finland, and Russia), Baltic Porter gained fame as a favourite with the porters who loaded ships on the London docks, hence the name.
INGREDIENTS
Water, malted barley, bread, hops, yeast.
Beer lover with a sustainable heart? Cotswold Lakes Brew Co.’s food waste-fighting beers will win you over with their equally excellent flavours and eco-friendly ethos.
The recipe behind each of their brews (that’s a blonde, bitter, porter, lager, pale ale and cold-brew coffee stout, fyi) includes a special ingredient: loaves of surplus bread.
Cotswold Lakes Brew Co. saves this bread from local Cotswold businesses, as part of a commitment to cutting down food waste, a mission driven by the fact that one third of all food is thrown away. Meanwhile, swapping out some malted barley for the surplus bread also reduces the beers’ carbon footprint.
These thoughtful brewers are always looking for ways to make their processes and supply chain ever more sustainable. For instance, water that goes into the brewing is reused and recirculated where possible, while spent grain is passed on to local farmers.
Beyond the beers, Cotswold Lakes Brew Co. also creates impact locally by contributing funding and volunteering hours to the Cotswolds Lakes Trust, supporting the conservation of their beautiful corner of the world.
Given the variety and the fact that all are gluten-free and most are vegan – you’re sure to find a new fave beer in the range.
