Burleigh Brewing has released Dream Date, a fruity new beer that builds on the Gold Coast craft brewer's distinctive range which includes My Wife's Bitter and A Bit on the Side.
According to the brewer, the new date-flavoured brew was inspired by “a chance encounter with a seriously smooth, sticky date liqueur”.
“But being brewers, not distillers, our minds soon wandered to how we might have some fruity fun of our own with this enchanting ingredient. So began a labour of love to perfect a process of blending hundreds of kilos of fresh dates with three specially selected, medium and dark malts - and a generous serving of aromatic hops.”
According to the brewer, because people have been brewing beer for a really long time it’s a challenge to come up with something new.
“But at Burleigh Brewing, we like a challenge,” it says. “Having our own brewery makes us a bit like a kid with a chemistry set. Although we flat out refuse to use any chemicals. So, we’re like a kid with a chemistry set that has no chemicals in it.
“We get to try out new ideas, combinations and styles whenever the feeling takes us. Which is often.”
According to Burleigh Brewing, the result of its latest experiment, Dream Date, is a deliciously dark ale with subtle notes of caramel, toffee and sundried fruit.
Dream Date is already on its way to bottle shops and bars and is expected to arrive over the coming days and weeks.
