Edinburgh-based brewery, Caledonian, is extending its bottled range to include its two newest modern craft beers: American-inspired pale ale, Coast to Coast and craft lager, Three Hop.
Coast to Coast and Three Hop are following in the footsteps of the brewery’s longstanding flagship ale, Deuchars IPA. They join Edinburgh Castle and Flying Scotsman to complete Caley’s core range, with both new bottles available now to customers.
Coast to Coast is the first beer to be developed in the newly-launched pilot plant, named Wee George after Caley’s founder, George Lorimer. It is a 4.6% abv polished bronze ale, brewed with full leaf fresh-packed American hops imported from Yakima Valley on the West Coast, married with British East Coast maritime malt. Its recipe leads to a strong hop character, including two UK-first Yakima Valley hops, which is combined with notes of lime, passion fruit and kiwi fruit.
Launched in 2014, Three Hop is Caledonian’s first craft lager. Brewed with three of Europe’s finest hops to craft a rich 4.5% abv, the lager carries spicy herbal aromas, a hint of honey and a slight minty note.
“The bottle format offers our customers the opportunity to experiment with their range to give consumers a great choice of quality beers,” said Managing Director of Caledonian Brewery, Andy Maddock.
“What we’re doing with modern craft through the two most recent additions to our range reflects the dynamic, innovative and vibrant ethos our customers have come to expect and that has always characterised our approach here at the brewery.”
