Small-batch experimental brews
In a quiet corner of our brewery yard, up a small, clanky metal staircase, is an unassuming green door. Behind it once stood the boiler, now redundant and removed, the steam ceased to billow above the old boiler house. Until now. With the void created by the removal of the boiler tank, we gained space for a different kind of tank and, above all, a space to think. A thirst for experimentation is part of our DNA: lagers in the 50s, Moonraker in the 60s, Harvest Ale in the 80s, and any number of seasonal ales and collaborations more recently. Today, behind that small green door is where we brew our small batch beers. It’s a place to foster that spirit of innovation and to explore distinctive, challenging new beers—brewing them with integrity in just the right amounts. We’re on a mission to experiment with new styles and varieties of beers, but with nearly 200 years of brewing history behind us. This is the next chapter of Greengate Brewery’s story. And when we talk of this initiative, this innovation, it will simply be known as The Boilerhouse.
CYCLE 4 LEAVING SOON
Cycle 4 brings another fresh line-up of limited-edition brews. Expect bold ideas, familiar faces, and a couple of beers that might just surprise you.
There’s a new collaboration with our friends from Northern Monk, a rich seasonal pour that breaks the mould.
Phoenix Glow makes a welcomed return, with our much loved White Chocolate Stout, a velvety brew marrying creamy white chocolate with warm vanilla notes.
SMALL BATCH EXPERIMENTAL BEERS
CYCLE 5 COMING SOON
Black Thorn – The nights are creeping in and the hedgerows fall heavy with sloe berries. Black Thorn is inspired by exactly that. a fruity sloe berry and stone fruit ale, with fresh hop aromas of grapefruit and orange zest. Light and easy-drinking, with just enough sharpness.
Hoppy Scholar – Every great journey starts somewhere. our apprentice brewer begins his with hoppy scholar. brewed as part of his course, it’s bright and floral with notes of tropical
pineapple and passionfruit. Light, refreshing, and sessionable enough to have a couple.
Filthy Rich – At this time of year, it’s dark on the commute and dark on the way home. Treat yourself to a filthy rich salted caramel porter. caramel, toffee and butterscotch with a
lightly roasted malt. tastes like millionaire’s shortbread in your glass. go on you’ve earned a pint.
