Crosby's Kitchen & CocktailAdnams Sole Bay Celebratory Ale

Hazy gold in colour with a good carbonation, this beer has aromas and flavours of honey, bread, bananas, pear drops, and bubblegum with a warming, luscious finish. This beer is brewed with East Anglian Pilsner malted barley, Demerara and Muscavado sugar and lightly hopped with Nelson Sauvign. We added a few springs of locally grown lavender at the end of fermentation to add a subtle floral touch. Sole Bay Celebratory Ale was first brewed in November 2009 to celebrate the brewery’s 350th anniversary. A celebration isn’t really a celebration without the popping of a cork, so Fergus and the team thought there would be nothing better than to toast our anniversary by creating an exciting champagne-style beer. To make it really special, we bottle our Solebay in a 75cl sparkling wine bottle and sealed it with a cork. We now brew it annually in time for the Christmas and New Year festivities.
