Brewed By: 
Ridgeway
Self-Defined Style: 
Smoked Beer
Specifications
Strength (ABV): 
4.5% ABV

To get a subtle smokiness we brew with Scottish peated whisky malt, English pale and roasted malts and boil only whole leaf goldings hops. Querkus is then patiently cold matured over pieces of old French oak barrels. The flavours from the toasted wood slowly seep into the beer.

Best With: 
The hearty, smoky character of these beers makes them exceptional food beers. They pair beautifully with all manner of smoked meats, cheeses, and fish, and will impart a delicate smokiness into non-smoked foods.
