“Keller everything, I reckon.”
Said with enthusiasm, belief and an endearing Aussie twang, this aphorism encapsulates head brewer Andy Scade’s view of Bevy’s Kellerbier pilsner. Named after a German word for Swan, minus the "W" lest it be confused as a menu item, Hooper pours as close to a kellerbier as any brewery could ask for without being from the actual tank – with that sat only a few metres away, it’s surely payable. Right?
Gladfield Pilsner malt provides a malt forward expression, while its unfiltered nature allows the slight haze to maximise subtle honey and Jersey caramel characters. Magnum and a late Perle hop addition deliver a sizeable 35 IBUs for style in a beer that invites repeat sipping, particularly in The Camfield beer garden as spring warms.
