Way, way back in the heady days of Spring 2015, a new brewery baby was born to the world. Cloudwater was the name and lo, hasn’t (s)he grown in a year.

– Wylam Double Jakehead IPA launch
DOUBLE JAKEHEAD IPA LAUNCH // Friday 13th November // Port Street Beer House // 7pm // free entry
You know a beer is going to be good when it has its own promotional video. Well, that’s maybe not necessarily the case (got the gondola-based Boddingtons advert in mind now) but IT IS this time. Wylam brewery, of Northumberland, are bringing to Port Street the amped up version of their much-loved Jakehead IPA: Double Jakehead imperial IPA. Clocking in at a heavyweight 12% ABV, the promotional material from Wylam instructs the drinker to absorb by 1/3 pint measure and to follow up with equivalent tablespoons of water. You’ll be able to compare and contrast as we’ll be serving Double Jakehead on keg AND cask.
We are the exclusive Manchester bearers of this great gift from Wylam. Come down to the launch on Friday 13th and spook out!
– Cloudwater Double IPA Day
CLOUDWATER DOUBLE IPA DAY // Saturday 7th November // Port Street Beer House // 7pm // free entry
What’s twice as good as an IPA? A double IPA! That’s how it works, right? Not sure but I can tell you this for certain: we are emphatically looking forward to tasting Cloudwater‘s new special edition, super fresh 9% DIPA. As well as pouring their eagerly anticipated double IPA on keg, we will also be pouring their similarly anticipated new IPA on cask. Now that’s what I call a double IPA day!
Join us Saturday 7th November from 7pm to taste both of these new Cloudwater offerings. Here’s some words direct from the brewery to get you juiced,
“The 7th of November marks the first year anniversary of residency in our warehouse in Manchester, and what an eventful year it’s been since we got the keys. Still three months from our first birthday, we’re up to gyle 101, and have made our way through nearly three seasonal ranges.
Back in early September, following a tasting of some excellent, fresher than ever before IPAs and DIPAs brought back from the States, we plotted to brew two hoppy beers that were more balanced, more flavourful, more hoppy, and that would hit our targets more squarely than anything we’ve brewed so far.
DIPA 9%
1500kg of malt, 70kg of the biggest, juiciest aroma hops.
Even a 2oC, with less than 1/3 of the carbonation we’ll package it with, this beer smells and tastes fantastic.
IPA 7.2%
1500kg of malt, 70kg of the biggest, juiciest aroma hops.
This beer is destined to be a very hoppy cask beer that will have cask aficionados and craft beer geeks alike quaffing half after half of what we’re sure will be one of the most impressive cask releases from us yet.
Originally destined for release as part of our Winter range in early December, we’ve decided to release both beers a month early, to celebrate beer at its freshest on our anniversary with the hoppiest beer we’ve made to date, brought to you as early as we possibly can. Both beers are being packaged this week (Wednesday and Thursday respectively), will be cold stored over weekend, before being dispatched early next week to arrive with you as fresh as they can be.
We’re incredibly proud of these beers, but they’re just the start of our next phase, an effort to make some of the best hoppy beer in the UK, and the beginning of a series of one off Drink Fresh, Hibernate, and Small Batch beers you’ll see from us in the coming years.”
Colour us excited.
