Brick Road IPA

To make the Brick Road IPA, Brick Road searched the world to find the best maltster to create this exceptional hopped wort. Only the finest grains are selected and malted. Malts are blended to suit the beer style, then mashed with hop extracts to create hopped wort. The fresh wort is gently reduced to 80 Brix before being canned fresh on-site to retain its original delicious malt flavours.

Known for its crisp, clean finish, the Brick Road IPA kit serves as the perfect base for crafting your signature brew.
