Manchester-based importer Morgenrot has added a further two eye-catching tipples from Sweden’s famous Pang Pang Brewery — Gaffa Grey IPA and Prepper Double IPA.
Famed for its Shower Beer, a 10% ABV double pale ale specifically produced to be enjoyed in the shower, the brewery’s latest duo of IPAs continues the assault on the senses.
Gaffa Grey Ale (5.8% ABV) was introduced as a beer style by Pang Pang in 2015. It’s an IPA brewed with Earl Grey tea, and just enough roasted malts to support the tea, without interfering with the flavours and aromas of the hops. Gaffa is brewed with quite a lot of bergamot juice and zest, which gives it a refreshing acidity. Prepper Double IPA (8% ABV) is a hoppy Citra IPA, packed with hop flavour.
The beers are available in 30-litre Keykegs and 33cl bottles and join Pang Pang’s Tiki Tango Pale Ale, Flamingo-go IPA and Shower Beer in Morgenrot’s portfolio. A third new beer, named Bong Water, a Cohiba cigar-infused fat and oily stout, is set to arrive in September.
Fredrik Tunedal, who is behind the Pang Pang Brewery, said: “It’s great to have these Swedish beauties in the UK and we look forward to causing more mayhem in their thriving UK craft beer scene in the coming months. I’m confident the new arrivals will excite, intrigue and provoke in equal measures, so be ready.”
Morgenrot commercial director, John Critchley, added: “We’re thrilled to extend our relationship with Fredrik and offer these utterly unique, one-off beers to operators. As we saw with the Shower Beer, the beers Fredrik produces are like no others you will see, hear about or taste and we’re confident operators and consumers will get a huge kick out of them. With the IPA styles continuing to see strong interest, we’re expecting big things.”
