Newbarns (x Epochal x Futtle x Swannay x Holy Goat) Megaburns

Last December we invited our pals from Holy Goat, Swannay Brewing, Futtle and Epolchal to brew a modern Scottish IPA to celebrate the one and only, Robert Burns.

Mega Burns is an up-to-date interpretation of historic influences from Scottish brewing. An IPA brewed with lager yeast, foraged herbs and a blend of UK and American hops.

Scotland has long been lager forward brewing country and a particularly adventurous and inventive place for brewing. We’ve incorporated some Yarrow and Bog Myrtle as a nod to pre-industrial brewing. The Harlequin, Mosaic, Simcoe and Cascade hops hark back to Edinburgh’s Victorian brewer’s liberal use of ingredients from all over the world.
