We took the train into Reading yesterday in order to attend the release event for Verdant Putty at the legendary Fox and Hounds in Caversham (great boozer). I've blogged about Putty several times now, it's a special beer that's released in January every year by Cornish brewers Verdant (my favourite UK brewery) Incredibly this beer sells out almost immediately, it was released in cans on Wednesday at 10:30am on their WEB site and had completely sold out (over 1,500 cases) by 10:45am and I missed it! Luckily the UK release in pubs was yesterday, around 100 pubs up and down the country received a keg of Putty this week and in splendid synchronised fashion they were all tapped in the afternoon.
Pictured above is 2/3 of a pint of Putty 2024 (£7.50), it's a DIPA (i.e. double IPA) and 8% ABV made with Azacca, Mosaic and Galaxy hops it's a classic Verdant haze bomb. Very "green" this year, but familiar flavours and mouthfeel, like meeting an old mate at the bar, a real treat!
