Infra Red

Infra Red is an oxymoronic IPA. Of course we all know that IPAs should be pale, and made for India, and don’t get us started on the “A” word.

Infra Red

Well, this beer has never been near India, or even near a ship. It isn’t pale, although at least it isn’t black, as it would clearly be silly to make a black IPA. Think about it, a black beer that uses a TLA¹ in which the P stands for pale?

But this beer is at least thinking about being pale. At least, paler than a really dark double imperial stout. It’s relative, as Albert seemed to think.

Infra Red, 6.2%, Deep ruby red, earthy orange and caramel nose, sweet toffee start, peppery dark roast parsnips and a long bitter finish.

Pairs well with roast game and all the trimmings or with rich dark spicy tomato based stews. Darker Indian style dishes like Rogan Josh are also a good match.

Available in firkins, naturally conditioned with live yeast in-a-bottle and occasionally in experimental keg.
