We first brewed for the Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) in 2018. This recipe combines the old world and new. We utilise Chevallier® as the base malt to give a rich, robust, marmalade and malty base and layer on top the classic California Common hops, Northern Brewer. We’ve added an Australian twist with Vic Secret hops making this a truly well-travelled ale.
