PISTA BADAM
BREWERS CHALLENGE - Sour Round
WINNER - Dan (The Sommelier)
Three of our brewers went head to head and this is the result, a winning sour.
Brewer Dan won Round 1 of our Brewer's Challenge with this sour inspired by the flavours of Indian sweet milky drinks. Layers of flavour come from roasted pistachios, almonds, cardamom and rose water, with lactose adding a creamy, silky texture, and Sabro hops bringing the coconut and citrus notes. Bit a Badam!

ELECTRIC TROPICAL LAGER STORY
Electric Tropical Lager takes inspiration from the tropical fruit stalls on Brixton’s iconic market street, Electric Avenue – made famous by the Eddie Grant song of the same name.
The stalls here have been part of the fabric of Brixton for decades – piled high with all manner of tropical fruit, vegetables and spices brought here by the waves of immigrants who've made Brixton their home.
We’d been talking about brewing a fruit-flavoured lager for some time, and after trying many combinations, we landed on mango and pineapple with a hint of ginger for balance. No artificial sweeteners, just proper tropical flavour brewed into a crisp, refreshing lager.
