Kick Off Your Summer With New Look 4-4-2 Beer

Posted: 6th May 2016

Limited edition ten hop beer 4-4-2 has been given a new look in time for the summer of sporting excitement ahead.
 
Named after the popular football formation, the seasonal ale was originally conceived in our pilot brewery, and due to its popularity is now among the collection of No.18 Yard Brewhouse beers available nationwide.
 
4-4-2 (ABV 4%) is available exclusively on cask, and its contemporary new pump clip features a football hitting the back of a net over a green striped lawn background, to reflect its sporting links.
 
A pale gold beer, 4-4-2 has its own special line-up in the form of 10 different hop varieties included in the brew. These are Kent-grown Fuggles, Admiral, First Gold, Challenger, Cascade and East Kent Goldings; Germany’s Halletau Hersbrucker, Herkules and Halletau Mittelfruh; and Saaz from the Czech Republic. They are melded with crystal and ale malt to create a delicious, full bodied pale ale with spicy bitterness, boasting pine, spice and herbal aromas.
 
Brand manager Will Upfield said:

We are really pleased with the new look of 4-4-2, which will be available on cask nationwide from June 1, ready for the start of this summer’s UEFA European Championship on June 10. The beer will be available until July 17, a perfect accompaniment to the tournament, and hopefully the perfect choice to toast the success of our home nation teams!
