Welcome, Frank! The Derby Brewing Company team

 

Multi-award-winning Derby Brewing Company has brewed a one-off beer called Super Frank IPA to welcome former Chelsea and England player Frank Lampard to Derby County Football Club as manager.

Derby Brewing Super Frank IPABrewery directors Trevor and Paul Harris are dedicated season ticket holders at Pride Park and couldn’t resist paying homage to the new DCFC manager with a special brew.

Second generation director, Paul, said: “Frank Lampard is a legendary footballer and we are confident he will help Derby to achieve great things this season in his first management role. He’s got us off to a great start with a win against Reading and we couldn’t resist doing what we do best and brewing a beer in his honour.”

Super Frank IPA is made using the finest English malts and dry hopped with Centennial to produce a light and refreshing India pale ale at 4.8% ABV (a nod to Lampard’s legendary number 8 shirt).

Derby Brewing Company produces a core range of ales and craft beers, most of which have won awards. It also brews one-off beers each month which explore malt and hop combinations to push the boundaries of taste and experience.

The brewery has become well known for producing beers in reference to popular culture, including Beast from the Yeast, which was brewed during the March blizzards, Russian Roulette, brewed for the World Cup, and 5 Hop, brewed for the Olympics.
