Description

Back from the archives to help us celebrate our 30th Anniversary!

One of the absolute originals of the Abbeydale Brewery range, brewery founder Pat Morton began making Matins back in 1996. With its sessionable ABV and easily quaffable flavour it was heralded as his ‘breakfast beer’! Crisp, fresh and pleasantly grassy with a delicious noble hop character.

Matins 2026 is hopped with Mount Hood – an American variety that’s originally bred from the noble German variety Hallertau Mittelfrüher, so its delicate spicy notes and mild, clean character make it perfect for the easy drinking yet flavourful style we were aiming for. It’s also the sister hop to Liberty, which is unfortunately no longer available but was the hop we used in the first batches of this beer in the 90s.

Have a look at the blog from Laura all about the long heritage of this simply quite lovely beer.
