Newcastle based Alpha Delta Brewing have announced that they will be launching the brewers first ever permanent cask beer to their core range of beers.

Roca is a 4.2% double dry hopped pale ale brewed with a combination of Citra, Comet and Mosaic hops.  The cask beer has lovely full aromas and flavours of grapefruit and stone fruits, but still a very sessionable pint.  The beer is also unfiltered and unfined so has a natural haze and is vegan friendly.

The North East brewer have had a number of requests for their beers in cask following limited special releases, but felt now was the right time to launch one in their core range.

Ross Holland, founder and head brewer at Alpha Delta Brewing said “We are really excited to launch Roca as part of our permanent cask range.  It is something we definitely needed to add to our beer selection as each time we have produced a guest beer in cask it has always been really well received.  Our recent Sirens series of guest cask beers sold out in a couple of weeks!  More of our customers have asked for our beers in cask and it is great to see such a demand for this.”

“We have been working hard behind the scenes to develop this beer.  We really wanted something that represented what we are about.   Full of flavour but, not too challenging.  A pint that has you coming back to the bar for another!   We really feel this could be a staple on bars not just in the North East but across the UK” Ross added.

Roca will officially launch at the start of April with the beer pouring first at the iconic Bridge Tavern bar in Newcastle, Foleys Tap House (Leeds), Hope & Union (Stockton), The Ship Isis (Sunderland), Three Legged Mare and Last Drop Inn (both York) on Friday 7th April.  Roca will be available to be purchased direct from Alpha Delta Brewing, as well as wholesalers Pivovar and Inn Express.
