Two of Thornbridge Brewery’s most popular hoppy IPAs are joining others of the brewer’s beers in 150 ASDA stores nationwide.
West Side Glory (7% ABV) is a West Coast IPA created in collaboration with Stone Brewing. “It’s a classic West Coaster with all US hops,” says the brewer.
“Powerful pine and grapefruit aromas pour forth from the glass, then the assertive hop bite leaps on to the palate along with flavours of tangerine and lemon. The robust malt keeps it in balance, leading to a long, bitter finish.”
The other beer is DDH Halcyon, a double-dry-hopped imperial version of Thornbridge’s IPA. “We have taken our original Halcyon recipe, already known for its huge hop profile, and turned it up to 11!” says the brewer.
“It pours with an alluring light gold haze and the aromas radiate from the glass carrying forth flavours of peach and mango. The bitterness has been softened just a little, creating a pillowy mouthfeel and really allowing the complex and layered tropical flavours to take centre stage.”
Simon Webster, founder and chief executive of Thornbridge Brewery, said: “We have been working with ASDA for many years and we really appreciate them adding these two products to their range. We look forward to growing our relationship for years to come.”
