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.

 

Looking for a food match? The Brick Road Pacific Pale Ale (Craft) Goes Well With…

1. Grilled Snapper with Lemon Butter: The delicate flavors of freshly grilled snapper, enhanced with a lemon butter sauce, complement the light, white-bread maltiness and citrus notes of the Pacific Pale Ale.

2. Beef and Beetroot Salad: Thinly sliced beef served over a salad with roasted beetroot, feta, and a light vinaigrette dressing pairs well with the ale’s citrus undertones and soft malt profile.

3. Raost Kumara and Pumpkin Salad: A warm salad made with roasted kumara (sweet potato) and pumpkin, tossed with spinach, seeds, and a light dressing, complements the beer’s soft and light character.

4. Muscle Fritters: The briny, oceanic flavors of green-lipped mussel fritters, lightly seasoned and fried until golden, will beautifully complement the citrus and peach notes of the Pacific Pale Ale, while the beer’s crisp finish cuts through the richness of the fritters.

5. Pavlova with Passionfruit Drizzle: A classic pavlova, topped with fresh whipped cream and kiwifruit, drizzled with passionfruit pulp, makes a sweet and tangy dessert that matches the beer’s fruity hop profile.

Additional Fermentables Required

Option Three: Smooth and Satisfying
For a fuller mouthfeel and smooth finish, use Liquid Malt Extract.
Choose Brick Road Extra Light

Note: When using craft yeast always check the ideal fermentation termperature range for that yeast.
