SPRINGBANKS BREWERY TOASTS WOLVERHAMPTON’S RICH TRADITION WITH LAUNCH OF TWO NEW BEERS
A Wolverhampton brewery will raise a toast to 150 years of tradition with the launch of two new beers this week.
Springbanks Brewery will launch its own-brand IPA at the Wolverhampton Summer Festival of Beer and Cider at the Newhampton Arts Centre, which begins on Thursday.
And festival goers are in for a treat with the pale amber IPA and mild ale, which have been inspired by a bid to promote the city’s rich brewing history.
Pete Atwal of Springbanks Brewery said: “Wolverhampton has a long and storied brewing history that spans more than 150 years, and honouring this
“Since opening earlier this year, all of us at Springbanks Brewery have been working tirelessly on launching our first beers and we are excited to be able to finally be able to present them this week.
“Our Springbanks IPA is an all-English pale amber IPA, with a clean, crisp bitterness. It is rich in tangy marmalade and tropical stone fruit, and is rounded out by a smooth, earthy finish.
“We are also proud to launch our traditional mild pale ale; chestnut in colour, incredibly smooth and creamy, and lightly fruity with a malt-focused profile. It is beautifully balanced by earthy, woody, and gently floral English hops.
“Springbanks Brewery pays tribute to those brewers, draymen and staff who built Wolverhampton’s liquid legacy that we wish to follow.
“Our mission is to help preserve and promote brewing heritage for future generations to enjoy, and the launch of our first two beers is a major milestone as we strive to deliver on that promise.”
Springbanks Brewery was formed after the closure of Bank’s Park and Springfield breweries cast huge doubt on the future of Wolverhampton’s brewing culture.
It is the proud custodian of one of only two Burton Union sets, an historic and cherished fermentation system dating back to the 19th century.
The brewery is working on its own recipes for a range of cask ales, craft beers, stouts and lagers, as well as working with other breweries on new union beers.
Customers will have the first chance to taste the two new beers at the Wolverhampton Summer Festival of Beer and Cider at the Newhampton Arts Centre from the 23rd July to 25th July.
The much-anticipated festival, hosted by Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), is located at the Wolverhampton Arts Centre and is sponsored by Springbanks Brewery.
