Adnams and Camden Town Brewery launch collaboration beer

Adnams has teamed up with the Camden Town Brewery to create ‘South Town Red Ale’, a 4.9% ABV limited-edition cask beer.

South Town, which is named as a hybrid of the hometowns of both brewers; ‘Southwold’ and ‘Camden Town’, is brewed with a selection of Australian hops, malted rye and oats and was jointly developed by Adnams master brewer Fergus Fitzgerald and Camden Town Brewery’s master brewer Alex Troncoso.

Troncoso said: "On my first visit to Adnams last August I was amazed by the blend of a modern brewery transposed onto a historical backdrop. I'm excited to be making my first ever batch of cask beer with Fergus, using ingredients we both love such as Golden Naked Oats and new world Australian hops – and that I get to work in the Adnams brewhouse for a day!"

Fitzgerald added: “We are looking forward to hearing what people think of look and taste of the beer when it launches in next month.”

South Town will be available to pubs from March in five-litre mini casks from Adnams Cellar & Kitchen Stores priced at £15.99. The beer is also available to purchase online at www.adnams.co.uk
