Young Henrys Real Ale

TASTING NOTES

The Young Henry’s Real Ale is their take on a traditional Best Bitter. In other words, where British style meets Australian tastes. They start with a 50/50 blend of English and Australian malts then add three of our favourite varieties of Aussie hops; Topaz, Galaxy and Ella. This gives a New World kick to an Old World classic. Thanks to some lingering sweet toffee and caramel flavours, the Real Ale packs loads of flavour into a 4% beer.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

The idea to open a brewery was easy for Richard Adamson and Oscar McMahon. Doing it wasn’t. At the time, few people understood the concept of hand crafted beer so several development applications were rejected. But in 2012 the green light was given for an industrial warehouse space in Newtown. With the help of a few friends, a small brewing kit was purchased and Young Henrys was officially in business.

DID YOU KNOW?

Young Henry’s were invited to the UK for the 2014 International Real Ale Festival and were incredibly honoured to see this beer pick up the Gold medal, matching it with some big hitters from the home of Best Bitters.
