Purity managing director, Paul Halsey, with a glass of keg Bunny Hop
Purity Brewing Company’s newest beer is hopping its way into keg ahead of spring and the warmer weather.
Bunny Hop, the award-winning brewery’s first permanent cask beer in seven years, has gone down so well with customers that the Warwickshire brewer is now rolling out kegs as well as casks.
The move means more UK landlords can serve Bunny Hop to punters, including a chilled version of the extra hoppy pale ale provided by keg cooling.
The team will be unveiling kegged Bunny Hop at this year’s Craft Beer Rising, taking place between February 23 and 25 at the Old Truman Brewery on London’s Brick Lane. Bunny Hop will be joined by Purity keg favourites Longhorn IPA, Lawless Lager and Saddle Black.
Brewed with Maris Otter, lager malt, wheat malts and Cara Pils, and generously hopped with Pilgrim, Eureka, El Dorado and Chinook, Bunny Hop has aromas of fresh grass, pine and grapefruit, with apricot and peach notes, perfectly balancing pale malts, powerful hops and a low ABV (3.5%).
Purity will also be peddling pints for riders at this year’s Mad March Hare Sportive, on Sunday, March 5. The 72-mile bike ride through Worcestershire, Warwickshire and beyond will culminate with few well-earned Purity beers being served on the house.
Purity managing director, Paul Halsey, said: “Bunny Hop was born out of a passion to brew a lower-ABV pale ale that still packed plenty of punch in terms of body, aroma and flavour. The cask version has had a tremendous response from customers, so we’re delighted to be offering a keg version enabling even more venues to benefit from this fantastic extra hopped pale ale.
“The evenings are getting lighter and many of us are starting to dust down our bikes and get back out and enjoy the great outdoors, and Bunny Hop is the perfect refreshing reward to savour at the end.”
