Moonshine – 4.3%

Description

Our flagship pale ale and our most famous beer! We don’t mind sharing that this beer has been called a Sheffield icon. Not only was it our first ever brew, it has remained our biggest seller for all of its (and our) 30 year history.

With its distinctive “Moonshine Blue” badge, and its refined, eminently drinkable flavour profile that simply does not age, we are so proud of this beer and all that it represents.

Moonshine was initially inspired by two things. The type of beers our founder and original brewer Pat liked to drink, along with the hop-forward American beers which were just reaching our shores in the mid 90s – but at a slightly more sessionable ABV.

Moonshine is light on bitterness, with the emphasis on late-added hops for flavour rather than hops added to the boil (which would extract a higher level of bitterness). Originally 100% Willamette hops, and with a character still very much driven by Willamette, the recipe for Moonshine has shifted gently over the years, blending in other hop varieties including Citra, Centennial, Delta and Chinook, at carefully adjusted volumes to ensure the flavour of the beer itself remains as consistent.
