Gillingham Brewery
Who knew Maple Syrup and Beer went so well together? Gillingham Brewing did! Maple 🤝 Beer
An annual seasonal release, aged for over 1 year, we welcome back the beloved 🍁 CG County Maple Ale 🍁
Brewed with a combination of honey, brown, and caramel malts with the addition of oats that provide a bigger more rounded mouthfeel. Over 40 litres of locally sourced maple syrup from Walt's Sugar Shack, brings aromas of woody maple that eludes whiskey aged in oak barrels.
A rich yet smooth palate with just enough sweetness to complement the dark malts and roasted coffee notes, creating a well-balanced ale that finishes slightly bitter and lingers maple syrup. A seasonal treat that is available for a limited time, so get it while you can!
