Allsopp’s Pilsner
The best drink under the sun
Allsopp’s Pale built the Company, but Allsopp’s Pilsner broke it. After the biggest debut on the stock market in 1887, then CEO Percy Allsopp spent the funds raised building the country’s first lager brewery – an enormous state-of-the-art facility. Alas, Percy was half a century early – the Brits had yet to develop a taste for lagers. By 1911 Percy was fired and the Allsopp family was turfed out of the Company.
tasting notes
Expect delicate malt notes reminiscent of bread and mild honey. This is balanced by a clean bitterness stemming from the classic Hallertau Hursbrucker hop.
