Harvey’s Brewery has unveiled Pells Pale a 3.7% ABV pale ale, designed to meet growing demand for pale ales in the on-trade, and available in both cask and keg formats.
Named after the Sussex word for a body of water, pell, the new beer harnesses pure South Downs Sussex spring water drawn up from Harvey’s artesian wells.
Produced with Motueka and UK hops, Pells Pale is characterised by citrus aromas, a fruity palate, and a subtly bitter finish.
It marks a new era for Harvey’s who have installed a new canning line. Expect a raft of 440ml canned beers, including Wharf IPA, Pilsner, and an upcoming nitro porter.
“Pells Pale is not just another pale ale,” said Zoë Prescott, marketing manager at Harvey’s Brewery. “Inspired by the success of our Coronation brew, we have crafted not only a delicious new beer but also a visually distinctive brand that sets these offerings apart from our core range.
“This expansion allows us to cater to the growing demand in the on-trade sector while continuing to be inspired by the vibrant spirit of Sussex.”
Perceptron (4% ABV) is a hoppy, sessionable pale ale from Neon Raptor. “Southern Hemisphere hops lend this machine bright lemon and subtle floral notes,” says the brewer. Also new from Neon Raptor is Crushing Blows, a 4.2% ABV New England session IPA, hopped with Citra, Simcoe, and Chinook.
Tickets are available for Lupofest, Stannary Brewing Co’s beer, music, and street food festival which takes place across the August bank holiday weekend. Find out more and buy tickets here.
Icon (5% ABV) is a new cask-aged IPA from Oakham featuring three of the brewer’s favourite hops. “The vibrant berry flavours and earthy, pine resin complexity of Mosaic combine brilliantly with the pronounced grapefruit, orange, and tangerine notes of Centennial, and the punchy tropical fruit characteristics of Citra,” says the brewer.
