Award Winning Professional Beer Writer Jeff Evans Launches Bodgers Reserve From The Chiltern Brewery At The Farmers' Bar
The Story
"A delightful beer" says Jeff Evans.
On Tuesday 5th March leading beer writer, taster and
renowned professional beer 'drinker' Jeff Evans of inside beer
http://www.insidebeer.com/ will be welcomed to the Farmers' Bar at The King's
Head, Market Square Aylesbury for the official launch of Bodgers Reserve , the
latest limited edition beer from The Chiltern Brewery.
It is a great honour to have someone so knowledgeable and so
highly respected within the industry to visit this fabulously historic pub to
launch this very special new bottled beer. Jeff's very positive comments and
tasting notes were very welcome too.
"We have taken our ever popular and sumptuously smooth
Bodgers Barley Wine, matured it in old whisky puncheons (barrels) for 5 months
and let the bottled ale rest for a further 7 months in our cellars. This allows
the flavours to mellow and mature" says Head Brewer Tom Jenkinson.
The Beer
Limited to just 500 numbered bottles, the new Bodgers
Reserve is a real treat. At 8.9% volume, each 500 ml bottle is to be savoured
and respected. It is available from 5th March on the website
www.chilternbrewery.co.uk
Tasting Notes
"A dark golden ale with abundant aromas of strawberry
and a creamy oak character which leaves a pleasant glow. A complex delightful
beer." says Jeff Evans.
Full quote: "A dark golden ale with abundant aromas of
strawberry and creamy oak. Ripe berry fruits (strawberry in particular) shine
through in the generally sweet, warming taste, contrasted by a dry, creamy oak
character and hints of orange zest. Fruity sweetness lingers a while in the
dry, tangy, oaky finish which leaves a pleasant glow and rounded bitterness.
This is a complex, delightful beer that is not at all heavy or cloying for its
strength."
About the beer:-
This beer is bottled at the brewery unpasteurised, with its
original yeast.
Store upright and cool, serve lightly chilled and pour with
care leaving the natural sediment in the bottle.
Optimum serving temperature 12°C/55F.

The Chiltern Brewery
George and Tom Jenkinson are brothers and directors of this
family run brewery, founded in 1980 by their father and mother, Richard and
Lesley Jenkinson. They are celebrating their 33rd year of business and remain
the oldest independent brewery in The Chiltern Hills and Buckinghamshire.
Built on an old working farm in the heart of the Chilterns,
the emphasis has always been to produce natural, wholesome beers using the
best, class A malt and hops sourced in England. The brewing process mirrors
age-old methods and the beers are brewed with skill, passion and integrity.
"We have always been proud to support British farmers and all of our
ingredients have a good provenance" say George and Tom.
The brewery has grown steadily over the years with the
dedicated help of other family members and a strong team. The brewery shop
sells the full range of bottled and draught beers; plus locally made wines,
ciders, condiments, cordials and a delicious range of products such as
chocolate, fresh bread, fudge and fruit cake that are all made using the
Brewery's fine ales.
The Farmers' Bar
The Farmers' Bar in the historic King's Head in Market
Square central Aylesbury is the brewery tap for The Chiltern Brewery. It has
become popular with local people as a place to relax and enjoy a full range of
Brewery and guest beers along with fine, locally sourced food served at
lunchtimes. It prides itself on its carefully selected beer menu.
