VERDANT – PUTTY 2022 RELEASE

On the 26th January we’ll have this years release of PUTTY. It’s one of our favourite releases of the year and brightens up any dull January day. Pop in from 5pm to grab yours! Here’s the lowdown from James at Verdant: “I could see the likes of Trillium, The Veil, Other Half and Treehouse causing a stir stateside and I was imagining what their beers must taste like. I wanted it to have a glowing golden colour and be centred around Galaxy hops that we had just managed to get a hold of for the first time.  I wanted it to be massively dry hopped and hot side saturated, weighty but really really drinkable. Basically exciting!  Mosaic seemed like a no-brainer as a companion to the Galaxy, and we also had it available! Azacca just seemed like the perfect fit to elevate the whole package.

The recipe has remained untouched from the first brew.  A malt base of Golden Promise with a higher than normal wheat malt amount alongside loads of oats and flaked wheat to round it off. There’s a really soft water profile at play and huge equal whirlpool additions of Galaxy, Mosaic and Azacca hops followed up by a massive dry hop with equal parts Mosaic/Galaxy with slightly less Azacca.”
