Renowned artist Phlegm and Sheffield brewery True North Brew Co have teamed up to create a new stout, Giants.
The collaboration has been announced in celebration of Phlegm’s new
exhibition, Mausoleum of the Giants. The 6% ABV stout is appropriately named Giants, with seven malts combining to create an initial sweetness from the oats and wheat, which is quickly followed by dark chocolate and
toffee, with hints of caramel and black coffee being balanced with a lasting bitterness from Slovenian hops. The beer is available to try in selected True North venues now.
True North head brewer, Dean Hollingworth, said: “We are proud to be a local brewery, based in Sheffield city centre, so to be able to collaborate with artist Phlegm to produce a brand new stout is a fantastic opportunity to truly showcase the talent Sheffield has to offer.”
Phlegm added: “I was lucky enough to get a whistle-stop tour of Dean’s brewing empire. A lot of time goes into just one brew, I’ll be drinking the humble pint with a whole new appreciation. It’s been a pleasure creating Giants with True North to coincide with Mausoleum of the Giants, a perfect opportunity to support local business and produce.”
As part of the the collaboration, Phlegm’s Giants design will be featured across four beer mats to make a single image. These are available to collect in selected True North venues. As an added extra, the first person to collect all four beer mats and bring them to The Devonshire can claim a free pint of Giants stout!
Phlegm will also be signing and doing a unique drawing on one set of the beer mats, which will be framed and auctioned, with all proceeds going to the Sheffield Lord Mayor’s charity. Follow True North Brew Co on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to look out for the chance to bid, or click here
