If you fancy something a little different to drink this autumn, try our 'guest' flavoured Beers of Interest - available in store for a limited time only. From chocolate to liquorice, marmalade and other quirky notes, you'll find a number of stand-out bottles in our aisles.
Steve Magnall, CEO at St. Peter's shares his thoughts on flavoured beer - with the brewery having produced its first fruit beer over 20 years ago:
Flavoured beer can be created in several ways. Yeasts can be used, so you get a sour style fruit flavour, or you can add actual fruits (although a lot of the flavour is lost because the sugar is converted to alcohol). Hops can give some fruit flavourings or you can add extracts that provide a more concentrated taste. We use natural extracts (so nothing artificial) and this way we are able to play around with different flavour combinations to see how they work.
Fruit beer would obviously appeal to someone with a sweeter tooth, but is also a great way of taming some of the stronger flavours. As an example, our Plum Porter, which we launched in the Morrisons Beer Festival last year, is a nice way of balancing a fruit with a strong porter.
