From The Kernel:
Originally brewed in the summer of 2011 on Thornbridge's 10bbl kit, 'Coalition'. The inspiration for this beer sprang from discussions between Dominic at Thornbridge Brewery and Evin at The Kernel Brewery around making beer along historic lines in styles unknown to us. So brewing a Burton Ale was decided upon with some aid from the beer historian Ron Pattinson.Â
13 years later, we have brewed it again, with a very specific difference. Earlier this year Thornbridge acquired a Burton Union Set - Marstons Brewery retired theirs, and Thornbridge took over a set to help preserve this particular and unique system of fermentation. It was immediately clear to us that we should revisit the Burton Ale of 2011, this time fermented on the Burton Union Set that Thornbridge had installed. It is a huge privilege to be able to produce this historical recipe on this historical piece of equipment, and to be part of showing that these histories are still alive. And we are really excited to see what changes the Union System brings to the finished beer.
Sitting in at 7.2% the Burton Ale in bottle has a rich sweetness & notes of caramel coming from the malts whilst golding hops and british yeast give a fruity and bitter-sweet finish. The extra body and warmth from the heightened abv seem a perfectly appropriate antidote to the chill in the weather we're feeling recently.
