27th Worthing Beer and Cider Festival - Kegs

Dookit Brewing, Raseli5.8%

GlasgowPale

The beer is inspired by Parveen’s Canteen & the Pakistani dessert called ‘kulfi’, and is flavoured with alfonso and honey mangoes. A lot of them: 230g per litre of beer. It is sweet and densely creamy, like the dessert, but lactose free. The cardamom flavour is there but not prominent, balancing the fruitiness and medium acidity with fragrant spiciness.

Kernel x Stigbergets, New England IPA7.0%

LondonHazy NEIPA

The journey of this new beer started earlier this year when we brewed a beer with Stigbergets in Götenburg, a Victorian Porter, bringing some of our experience of and history with this very London beer style into play. For the return leg at our brewery in London, we asked them to bring their experience of brewing hazy New England IPA to share with us, and this IPA is the result. Maris Otter, wheat and oats make up the body of the beer, a substantial portion of both of the latter giving body, heft and haze. We used a version of their house yeast blend, various strains from London and Yorkshire via Vermont, which add a rich stone fruit character that plays beautifully with the hops (Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Galaxy), giving them an underlying scaffolding and support. The hops come through quite saturated on the nose, initially quite bright citrus and pineapple, then slowly dispersing into apricot, oranges, jam, guava. The texture is full and round, accentuated by the oats and wheat, sweet with a touch of alcohol, and juice and fruit. It then steps back a little, dropping in a finish just a touch drier than what has gone before, with a small hit of bitterness that’s barely perceptible but is essential to hold things back from being cloying. Trying to hit that point of being sweet while still refreshing, full without being satiating.
