Cornwall-based Sharp’s Brewery has today (Monday 19 September) launched one of its limited release beers, a Vienna Red ale called ‘Rising Tide’ (4.2% ABV). As part of Sharp’s commitment to creating new and exciting flavours, the new beer will be made available across on-trade outlets throughout mainland UK until 31 October*.
Rising Tide (4.2 ABV) is the fourth in a series of five limited release brews created this year to raise money to support the best beaches in Cornwall, with 5p from each pint sold donated to securing Blue Flag awards across the county.
Brewed for Autumn by Hayley Young, a rising star brewer at Sharp’s, this delicious red ale is the latest evolution of Sharp’s best-selling limited release beer of last year. Vienna malt and an exclusive experimental hop grown in Slovenia are brewed to create a delicious red ale with medium body and mouth-watering appeal. The sweetness of the malt is balanced by fruity hop aromas, reminiscent of beautifully ripened fruit during harvest time.
Brewing exceptional beer is paramount for Sharp’s and the new diverse limited release range perfectly complements their portfolio of industry leading brands including Doom Bar, the UK’s number one cask ale, and Atlantic, one of the country’s most exciting new cask ales.
James Nicholls, Senior Brand Manager at Sharp’s Brewery, comments: “We were delighted to relaunch Rising Tide this year after popular demand for the brew and we hope that even more people enjoy this moreish autumnal ale (while stocks last!). We are thrilled to be continuing our support for the Blue Flag initiative through the release of Rising Tide. Blue Flag is a fantastic charity and one that does great work for our coastal community here in Cornwall.”
The Blue Flag initiative encourages sustainable development of beaches across the world, and is owned and run by the non-governmental organisation the FEE.
