Bath Ales is launching its famous amber ale, Gem, in five-litre micro casks. For a limited period (from 11th May) these are available to order from Bath Ales’ online shop, while stocks last.
Gem (4.1% ABV) is a well-balanced and full-bodied amber ale, with plenty of malty character. It’s brewed with all British hops; Goldings from Kent adds a subtle, aromatic spice.
Fresh from Hare Brewery, this cask ale — just like you’d get in pub — is pitched as the perfect remedy for those who are missing the taste of draught beer from their local.
Georgina Young, Bath Ales’ head brewer, said: “With pubs closed across the country, we know real ale drinkers are missing the taste of a freshly-poured pint. However, until we’re able to visit our locals again, enjoying a micro cask at home is definitely the next best thing.
“Each cask is filled with nine pints of our flagship beer, Gem, which we’ve been brewing for 25 years. We hope that we can bring a little bit of comfort to beer lovers at this time, by delivering perfectly-conditioned cask beer direct to their doorstep.”
