Thornbridge Jaipur Indian Pale Ale, 4 x 330ml

Product Information

The Brewery Bible is proud to work with breweries and beer venues of all shapes and sizes to enhance the beer lovers experience. We couldn’t afford marketing so we just talked about the true history of IPA, because the great thing about brewing is the stories, and it became an evocative, emotive beer. The trend today is this Mosaic- and Citra-dominated profile, which means any muppet can make IPA,” says Lovatt. Harrison found a partner in Simon Webster and they hired two young brewing-school graduates, Italian Stefano Cossi and Scotsman Martin Dickie, giving them wide latitude in the brewhouse.

We obviously think it’s delicious, but more importantly chief sommelier at Thornbridge James Buchanan has given the pairing a double thumbs up. As a result, Jaipur has been the subject of more than one loving treatment, and Jonny Garrett’s recent Good Beer Hunting piece is the best.Alongside this, you can find DDH Jaipur, which uses the same recipe as Jaipur, but is double dry hopped creating an even punchier tropical fruit character. Not overpowering with fruit flavours some but well balanced and smooth maybe zesty lemongrass flavor and pine with a low to medium bitterness level. The cask ale CAMRA reveres is made of characterful local malts, English hops, expressive yeast, and is brewed to a modest strength so that when served on cask it makes for an incredible session beer.

The first few brews were all for Kelham Island, but Dickie remembers how he and fellow brewer Stefano Cossi were given complete freedom outside of that. There was no craft beer scene back then, so we were selling our casks into traditional pubs,” says Webster. All sizes and measurements are approximate but we do try to make sure that they are as accurate as possible.Information and statements about products are not intended to be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. Dickie remembers tales of regulars switching their weekend sessions to Jaipur and going missing for three days after. But being a serial entrepreneur, Harrison was wise enough to know that even with Wickett’s help, he’d need more expertise. With over 100 worldwide awards, this American style IPA has a complexity of flavour created by a six-dimensional hop experience.

Whilst we endeavour to make sure that glass bottles are packed as well as possible we cannot send out replacement for any breakages. Here we have the second of Thornbridge’s special versions of Jaipur IPA brewed to celebrate 15 years of their premier beer.

It is perfectly traditional, with local malts and Golding hops, meant to be served on cask like scores of other bitters in the country.

At 10%abv I knew this would be a monster but I didn’t realise just how big a brobdingnagian it would turn out. A decade spent focusing on traditional outlets and permanent lines did the brand wonders—its volumes weren’t tied to the fickle habits of hardcore beer lovers, and quick turnover meant it was fresh pretty much everywhere it was sold. The early efforts were illustrative of the trend up to that point of British “craft” breweries that may have been new and small, but still made traditional styles. I can offer a bit of oral history here, because I remember the bloggers of the day spilling rapturous praise for Jaipur onto their digital pages. Then they did something far more interesting, fusing the older English tradition with the new American one.

On the other hand, being fond of Fuller’s ale, it’s great to be able to get a pint of ESB whenever we want one. He’d founded Thornbridge Brewery in one of the mansion’s outbuildings at the suggestion of his friend David Wickett, owner of Kelham Island Brewery, which had won Champion Beer of Britain with its Pale Rider American Pale Ale the summer before. These items are usually delivered within 24 hours, but this can vary (anywhere up to 10 working days), and is unfortunately beyond our control. Shelf life: Long - The foil bag contained within the keg allows for a much longer shelf life than a normal beer keg, even when connected 6- 8 weeks.
