We are pleased to announce the hatching of Humpty Dumpty Brewery's latest cracking good ale, Bad Egg, at 4.1% abv.
We crafted this beer from the ground up to be a darker bitter than most of our range, with both more malt and more hop goodness than our current best bitter, Humpty Dumpty Ale. You can follow the story (part 1, 2, 3, 4 ) elsewhere on our website. We have also published a home brew recipe in the latest edition of Norfolk Nips (pdf).
If the name makes you wrinkle your nose, we hope the pump clip will bring a smile to your face as our "Over-Easy" Rider rolls into town and parks his bike in your favourite pub.
The beer is a complex blend of fine pale malt combined with crystal malt, caramalt and a touch of chocolate malt, giving the beer a ruby colour. We have generously hopped it with 100% East Kent Goldings hops in the boil and at the finish, giving it loads of hoppy flavour and aroma.
We are launching Bad Egg as a spring seasonal, but with the eggs-pectation that it might join our regular rotation. Rolling out a fine new best bitter, we encourage you to take a ride on the wild side. Look for Bad Egg at our launch at the Lord Nelson in Reedham on March 27th, and across East Anglia throughout the spring season.
