Specialist beer importer Morgenrot has extended its selection of Sleeman brews with the addition of Silver Creek Lager.
To coincide with the launch, the Canadian beer was available at the re-opening of the Maple Leaf pub in Covent Garden, which was attended by John W Sleeman, as well as being on offer to visitors to the City Music Foundation’s annual City BeerFest event on Thursday.
Available in 30-litre kegs, the new arrival joins the brewer’s other beers — Honey Brown and Railside — in the Morgenrot stable.
Sleeman Silver Creek Lager (5% ABV) is described as a golden beer with an ample white foam collar. A noble hop character is prominent, along with balanced malt sweetness. The Pilsner style has a very clean finish.
Morgenrot’s sales director, Graham Archibald, said: “As well as having a fantastic back story to the brand and fanatical following in Canada, the Sleeman beers always hit the mark in the flavour department, so the decision to extend our range with the Silver Creek Lager was a no-brainer really.
“Combined with Canada Day celebrations and the City BeerFest, we’re on the cusp of summer and lager-drinking weather, so it’s the ideal time to launch this tasty tipple.”
