Utopian
Utopian is a relatively new brewery based in mid-Devon. Their aim is to produce the best possible naturally-brewed lagers, using entirely home-ingedients.They say:
"By 'naturally brewed' we mean that we only consider adding things to the beer that will improve the quality of the beer and we do not add things to simple make the process easier or to produce the beer faster. We don’t add finings or enzymes for clarification we use cold conditioning and time.
Our beers contain just Water, Malt, Hops, Yeast and plenty of patience. And we think that’s just about as natural as it can be."
Our selection of Utopian beers changes from time to time. Here's what we have currently:
Unfiltered British Lager | 4.7% A Bavarian Helles-style beer, but unfiltered. Light in colour but with a slight haze from retained yeast which provides a greater depth of flavour.
Bohemian British Lager | 4.2% Utopian say: "Paying tribute to the classic pilsner style lagers of Bohemia, our Bohemian British Lager is brewed with a traditional decoction mash using only British grown Lager and Munich malts to develop flavour and body.Bold, fresh and easy drinking.
Rainbock | 7% "Brewed in the depts of winter and matured for 100 days, our Maibock-style beer uses a traditional decoction mash to develop rich and complex flavours from the malts. A generous addition of British hops gives the beer balance and even more character. Voted “World Best Seasonal Maibock” in the 2023 World Beer Awards!
