Style: Double Hopfenweisse
Brewed by: Cloudwater (Manchester, UK)
ABV: 8% 

Many years before Cloudwater came into existence we were inspired by the brilliant minds of Hans-Peter Drexler of Schneiderweisse, and Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery, who came together to brew Hopfenweisse, a term fashioned by Garrett himself. 

The resulting beer stood out in a sea of UK hoppy beers made with restrained or entirely neutral yeasts - often contributing little flavour to the beer, left in the shadows of both hot and cold side hopping. 

In our early days we looked at Hopfenwiesse as pointing to a bolder future of beer, where rich and protein heavy malt grists, forward-thinking modern hopping, and flavourful yeasts contributed their all as powerful, equally capable allies in pursuit of the most robust flavours in beer. Long before we even knew NEIPA was a thing, Hopfenweisse lit a bold trail in front of us. 

We’re thrilled to present a Double Hopfenweisse as part of our birthday offering. Rich, bold, lightly spiced, big bodied and yet quaffable, and highly hopped, as you’ve come to rightly expect from us. 

Our 10th Birthday Beers are designed to be the perfect way to spend an evening celebrating with us, in one of our venues, with friends at your favourite stockist, or in good company at home. We’re taking you on a journey from beer styles that made waves across the industry in our early years, to beers that span out over endless horizons into the future of this fine industry.
