Hammerton Brewery is claiming a global first with its revolutionary ‘Pure White’ Stout innovation.
Following months of dedicated research and development, Hammerton Brewery is stepping into the spotlight with a brand-new release—a beer they believe to be a world-first.
Aptly named ‘The Friendly Ghost, ’ this beer is the result of a unique collaboration between a premier South East maltster and the North London-based brewery.
While most white stouts on the market still lean toward amber or brown, this release is a true visual departure. “We’ve spent seven months experimenting with specialty malts to reach what we consider the holy grail of stouts, ” explained co founder Lee Hammerton.
“It delivers the intense flavours of coffee, and dark chocolate you’d expect from nitro stout, but with the startling appearance of a pure white brew.”
“Many believed it was impossible to create a perfectly white beer with the authentic profile of a stout, but through the tireless dedication of everyone involved, we’ve made it a reality, ” said Lee Hammerton.
“We’re incredibly excited for our customers to finally experience the result.”
Explaining the science behind the brew, Hammerton noted: “The secret lies in a pioneering malting technique we developed alongside our partner maltster. Known as ‘reverse roasting, ’ we currently have a patent pending on this proprietary process in collaboration with the maltster.”
“It begins by roasting the malt to capture those classic stout flavours, then applying a secret ‘de-roasting’ technique to remove the colour and char, ” said Hammerton.
“The result is a crystal-clear white beer that tastes exactly like a dark stout. This new malting method is set to revolutionise the industry, potentially sparking a whole new wave of ‘totally white’ brews. ”
This limited-edition release will be available across the on- and off-trade from today, offered in keg and can.
“This project has completely changed our perspective on what’s possible in brewing, ” he shared. “We’re excited to see how this evolves the Hammerton range. ”
