Moonshine Minikeg – 4.3%

Description

Our flagship pale ale and our most famous beer! Hopped with Willamette, Delta, Citra, Chinook & Centennial – this is a beautifully well balanced pale.

Moonshine was the first recipe our brewery founder Patrick Morton worked on when setting up Abbeydale Brewery, being exactly the type of beer that he most liked to drink, and inspired by the pale, 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.

*A note about Minikegs: Due to the way we fill the minikegs, and the fact they have only very light, natural carbonation from the secondary fermentation (as would happen in the pub cellar), they will pour relatively ‘flat’. It’s more like how it would be if poured direct from cask at a beer festival. 

We recommend that Minikegs are consumed within 4 days of opening them, and kept between 8 and 12 degrees for optimum condition.

Minikegs contain 5L of beer, which is 8.79 UK Pints.
