Christmas arrives early for Bradfield Brewery fans – Belgian Blue is available on draught once more!
Every year since it was first produced in 2005, this seasonal ale has grown in popularity and this year is gearing up to be the best yet! Farmers Belgian Blue is a 4.9% ABV ale with Christmas berry overtones and a slight blue tint to the head, making it a well loved and distinctive winter warmer.
This year’s first barrels of Belgian Blue are exclusively available at the Brewery’s pubs The Nags Head from the 31st October and the King & Miller from the 1st November, and in the first hour it flew out of the pumps faster than a pint per minute!
Farmers Belgian Blue was first created in 2005, the year Bradfield Brewery began operating. Setting their sights high with their wish to create an unusual festive brew that everyone would love as much as Christmas itself, ideas began forming and this unusual but charming brew was created.
The name of the festive ale was an obvious choice, following on with the Famers Ale theme and naming their ales with different cattle breeds – the Belgian Blue breed sprung to mind with talk of a slight blue tint to the head, and there it was born – Farmers Belgian Blue.
Belgian Blue is available in cask, bottles and 5 litre mini kegs from Bradfield Brewery’s on-site shop and their recently introduced on-line shop. The on-site shop opening hours are 8am-4pm Monday to Friday and 10am-4pm on Saturdays. The on-site shop will also be opening 10am-2pm on Sundays throughout December, up to Christmas.
