Muntons has launched a new range of home-brew kits. The Flagship ranges focuses on craft beer enthusiasts.
The range offers contemporary beer more typically seen in the craft brewing sector, with beer styles including Hazy IPA (5% ABV), Milk Stout (4% ABV) and West Coast IPA (7% ABV).
Muntons’ new product development teams worked with a group of 25 home-brewers, from those who are new to the hobby, through to experienced home beer maker.
Made with Muntons’ finest quality malt extract, the new Flagship kits come packed with hops and adjuncts, including premium hop pellets for dry-hopping and a hop straining bag. New to Muntons Flagship is a step-by-step instruction guide tailored to the kit style, which allows the home-brewer to have the best experience in crafting 35 pints.
The maltster, which is based in Stowmarket and has sites in Bridlington, the USA and Thailand, is celebrating its centenary this year, and 2021 also marks 40 years since it first started home-brew manufacturing at Stowmarket.
Andrew Leedham, senior marketing manager for Muntons Homebrew, said: “We’re delighted to bring our customers this exciting new range of quality home-brew products made with the finest British barley.
“We know from the market feedback and the demand we have seen over the last 18 months that home brewing is thriving as a popular hobby. We’re seeing a new generation of beer makers coming through and enjoying the experience, which makes it a really exciting time to be launching our Muntons Flagship range, designed to celebrate the craft.”
Muntons is wildly known as an industry leader in sustainability. In-keeping with its green ethos, the malt used in the Muntons Flagship kits is grown locally to the maltster’s maltings in Suffolk and Yorkshire and is 100% sustainable. The packaging has been specifically chosen because of the sustainability credentials, with 90% of it albeing recyclable.
The Muntons Flagship range is available in UK homebrew retailers now.
