Fyne Ales - New Seasonal ale JARL
To be Launched at the Beer Fest, Saturday 19th June
To celebrate the Beer Fest, Fyne Ales are launching a new seasonal beer - Jarl.
This is their first single hopped beer (using the same hop for bittering as for aroma) and it is produced with the latest American hop Citra. They recently tasted it from their fermentor, describing it with a fantastic aroma, with LOADS of tangerine and tropical fruits. At 4.0% abv it should be easy drinking too.
The reason for the name (pronounced Yarl) is that this beer is replacing Somerled in their seasonal line up. Somerled as you may know was one of the rulers of their part of Scotland in the dim & distant past, and the Jarl's were the Viking Earls who were contenders for power at the same time. They thought they'd see how they stacked up against each other........

On a hot summer’s day there’s nothing better than a refreshing beer to cool us down.

Does your Local keep a good Pint??
A few points on serving a good pint -
- Cleaning beer lines every 5 days following correct procedures eliminates yeast build up in the beer lines. Every new barrel on should also have the beer lines cleaned even if its the same beer that's being put back on. This can be a problem in a busy pub but should be done to maintain a high standard for the beer.
- Ensuring the cellar is at the correct temperature 11‐13°C. This will mean the beer should also be a perfect temperature being not too warm or too cold but just right 11‐13°C when being dispensed.
- Order the correct sized barrel, the given is all beer should be sold within 3 days of opening.
- Have the correct number of beers on Tap. If a pub isn't known for its Ale it should only have one rather than 3 so that the one is drunk and so keeps fresh. One good ale is better than a choice of 3 bad ones.
- Tilting or Stooping a beer this should be done carefully 3 inches raised at the back or lowered at the front.
- Sampling beers for clarity, aroma and taste after tapping and each day before serving. Always sample from the cask before connecting the beer lines. Then again before serving the new barrel to a customer. A good landlord will always (after checking) give this sample to a regular ready to order their next pint.
More information can be found on the Cask Marque and Cask Force websites.
Cask Marque offer cellar management training.
