As they continue their journey, TWØBAYS Brewing look destined to ensure that nobody who can’t have gluten doesn’t have to miss out on the multitude of styles offered by craft beer. For winter 2024, that dedicationto choice came in the shape of a brown ale by the name off Off The Hook. Before it’s wider release in tins, the beer already picked up plenty of praise too, with it securing a gold medal at the Australian International Beer Awards and one judge leaving the note that what they'd just tasted was "off the hook”.
Aside from its different approach when it comes to malt, there’s much about the brown ale that makes it a classic with the brewery using East Kent Golding as the hop of choice. That brings a noticeable level of bitterness, plus a fresh touch of stone fruit and floral undertones as a sweet and savoury balance is struck by nutty and toffee characteristics.
Off the gluten? Never fear - there's Off The Hook.
