Butcombe Brewing Co has launched Tall Tales, a modern pale described as the boldest beer in the Butcombe family of brews.
It’s described as a refreshing, fruity, and light beer, full of character, with notes of grapefruit, pineapple and citrus.
It is named Tall Tales after the legendary story of a crocodile lurking in Bristol’s River Avon at Hotwells. The reptile, which prompted a police search but was never found, has been reported floating beneath the surface of the muddy waters.
Marc McGuigan, group managing director, brewing and distribution, at Butcombe parent Liberation Group, said: “We’re incredibly proud of Tall Tales, one of our biggest flavoured beers to date. It’s a vibrant and flavoursome pale ale, brought smack bang up to date by our amazing brewing team, for today’s beer lover.
“We were inspired by the tale of Bristol’s mythical crocodile when creating Tall Tales. It’s important that we keep surprising our customers, so what better way to show the innovation and creativity of our award-winning brewery, whilst remaining faithful to our Bristolian heritage, than launching this incredible new beer?
“Whether it’s true or not doesn’t really matter. Who doesn’t love a Tall Tale every now and again?”
The beer is available in 30- and 50-litre kegs.
