Penzance Brewing Co’s Rob Wilson has unveiled a beer that he considers completes the microbrewery’s range, 49º Porter (4.9% ABV). Dark ruby in colour with a slightly smokey note, expect flavours of muscovado sugar, some spiciness, coffee, and bitter chocolate.
Swift Departure (4.5% ABV) is a golden summer ale from Grain Brewery. Brewed with Maris Otter barley, along with Dark Munich and wheat, it is hopped with Progress, Willamette, and Citra for a deep honey flavour with a gentle aroma of citrus. It is brewed to mark the swifts leaving the brewery to head back to Africa for the winter.
