About This Beer
Second outing of Owen’s English Porter, brewed 19 April 2026, a year on from the original.
Gladfield grain bill: Ale Malt as the base, Munich for depth, Light Crystal for sweetness, Light Chocolate for roast and colour, Shepherds Delight for complexity, and Eclipse Wheat for a smooth mouthfeel. One change from the previous version, Harlequin replacing Pacific Jade as the bittering hop.
Nottingham, fermented at 19°C.
A smooth, creamy dark beer with malty chocolatey flavours, well suited to the Auckland winter.
