Yes hop fans, Thursday is our second birthday! Things have changed a lot since we began brewing here in Pontyclun two years ago, but what hasn't changed is head brewer Gazza's commitment to hops and flavour in the beer... we've learnt a few things along the way and have has some ups and downs - as is to be expected - but we're confident, with the opening of Hopbunker in Cardiff and the overall reception the beers are now getting, that we're on the right track and just need to keep plugging away...
So from Gazza, Jay, Gav and Steve here at Pixie Spring, may we ask you to raise a glass (of our beer preferably!) to us and, above all, keep the lupulous faith....
"Statement of Intent v3" uses a similar malt base as in previous years (pale, wheat, caraGold and Melanoidin) although this year we're using the new Propino variety as a base malt which gives great extraction and a solid malty flavour. Hops will be Summit, Columbus, Amarillo and Mosaic in the copper plus Citra and Cascade dry-hop, decided on during a staff meeting about the beer last week!
