PARADOX

Barrel Aged Apricot White Stout

White Stouts are relatively pale beers that exhibit many of the flavour characteristics of stouts but without the typical dark colour.

This example was brewed from pale, crystal and wheat malts as well as coffee beans and cacao nibs to produce a potent golden ale with notes of chocolate and coffee. The resulting beer was then matured for one year in bourbon casks, with the addition of apricots and peaches to enhance the flavour and provide complexity. In common with darker stouts, bitterness is moderate, and there is little hop aroma.

Jamie Sadler, Managing Director of Men’s Pie Club says, “Around the UK, men are socially disconnected and lonely. This can have a devastating impact on their happiness and health. It doesn’t have to be like this. 

Men’s Pie Club uses food to create clubs that support men of all ages at risk of poor mental health because of poor quality social connections or loneliness. One of our key strengths is our approach to making pies from scratch as a way to increase social connectedness.

We are thrilled that Ossett Brewery, a passionate and fired-up patron of the pie – are supporting Men’s Pie Club – thank you!!”
