Liverpool’s Neptune Brewery is releasing its popular Melissa Cöle-sch beer — a collaboration with beer and food writer Melissa Cole — in 440ml cans this month. The beer was initially released on draught back in February.
It’s a 5.2% ABV Kölsch-style beer, crisp and clean, with notes of citrus fruit, a light, sweet biscuit malt, and a dry finish. Brewed using Saaz, Premiant, and Huell Melon hops, the name is a play on Melissa’s surname.
Julie O’Grady, co-owner of Neptune Brewery, said: “We had a great day brewing this beer with Melissa earlier in the year, and were blown away with how popular it has been. As the first release was draught only, we were keen to make sure that we canned some of this next batch, to be able to support our independent bottle shops and customers across the UK.”
Neptune Brewery launched its online store earlier this month, for customers across the UK who aren’t able to get its beers in their local area. A click and collect service is also available from the Neptune Taproom, with cans and draught beer continuing to be sold directly from the taproom during its Friday opening hours.
