Yates brewery weekly update,

First off looking forward to seeing anyone that is popping to the The Volunteer later today to try the VPA. Two things have come up with the VPA that we would like to just say a couple of things about first off the name Ventnor premium ales instead of Ventnor pale, from going some online reading a research we found that VPA was know under a few different names, VEEPS, VPA, Ventnor pale ale and Ventnor premium ale. one thing we found when searching Ventnor pale ale online is that Ventnor botanicas pale ale was more likely to come up where as VPA was more likely to come up when searching for Ventnor premium.

second was the lower abv, this is a hand up moment for nosh to say he miss calculated the extraction from the base malts and missed the O.G, this gave us a beer with a lower abv. we could have labelled this beer as 4% as it would have been with in the abv percentage defence we are allow because of the secondardy fermentation in cask but we decide not to do that.

If we decide to continue to produce VPA we will choose to change thing as it evolves based of what people think later today and in the future.

But into other updates we are finally there with the don't look back in amber pump clip so though we show you how it's looking. The brew its self is not under way yet as we want to make sure all the hops play well together before we commit to using the most hops yates have every put in a beer to date.

looking forward to seeing everyone later on at 5 if not just before.

In preparation of the release of the VPA next Friday 24th of April. we've had graham and Jeff come to the brewery for final beer tasting and sealing of the first cask racked off.

We are aim to kick things off at 5pm at The Volunteer, Josh will be there should you want to ask him anything. Mat and david from Yates IOW Brewery / Yates IOW Wholesale / Cork Heads Wines & Spirits IOW plan to be there too.

Some other news from the brewery this week cask beachcomber will be racked off next week, so not long to wait. We have also been working on the next beer to come out from the brewery, which we can now tell you is going to be don't look back in amber.

In this brew of don't look back in amber we will be using some new hops to yates brewery these hops are, El dorado, pink and Idaho 7. this is most likely going to be the largest amount of hops we have used to dry hop a beer, so lets hope it super fruity.

A great week in the brewery this week, with lots to talk about.

First off the re brew of the beachcomber is fermenting away nicely and is tasting great, all going to plan and should be ready to roll out the door before the end of the month.

As we are talking a beachcomber we have been test running beachcomber in keg, which has been very well received. There are some small difference between the keg and cask, one being the keg beachcomber is dry hop to help increase aromas of mango and pineapple. As it has gone down so well we are in the process of having some glasses and Tap hands ready for us to start upping production and installing in other bars and pubs, we are doing this slowly as we don't want to run out for those that do have it. To help show the defence in the two we are planning a keg vs cask event we don t no have a date for this one yet.

As some of you may remember we talk about re brewing Burts VPA, well its in the tanks now. We plan for the brew to be in cask ready for the first may bank holiday. If you where looking for an early taste we are in the process of planning a launch event at the volunteer on the 24th of April, I know some of us are going to be there.

With new brew in mind we are aiming to have a new seasonal or one off every 4 to 6 week, this is a target as we don't want to run out of are core produces.

A little up date from the brewery this week.

First off there is going to be a delay on the cask beachcomber casks, we're sorry to those that are looking forward to it. This is because of beer scorching in the brew. Beer scorching is a bit like when you catch caramel and burn it, does not taste nice and has a ashy burnt flavour. As we have been trying to improve the quality of the beer we brew it would not be right to roll this brew out to the public. We will be rebrewing it next week, which push the release but a few weeks.

There is something new coming to the brewery this week. The brewery it's self has a new sign, designed by David yates senior back when he was doing outside bars. It only seemed fitting to get a replicate the original and have it as the brewery sign.

It's been sometime, but we had a bit of down time though the winter. There's lots of new and old things coming this year...

It's been sometime, but we had a bit of down time though the winter.

There's lots of new and old things coming this year, new beer, old beers, new collaborations and events. We don't want to say to much about the plans for the year, but some of the things we can tell you about are . . . .

We will be changing are base malt to isle of wight produce barley, thanks to isle of wight grain and Warminster-Maltings for working with us.

Thanks to Charles Faram & Co Ltd we where able to get hold of a hop called pink, grow Fresh in from America and it smells amazing.

And finally this week we have been getting beachcomber casks ready for easter.

We look forward to working with everyone this year.
