The Pump House India Pale Ale is a heavily hopped beer with tropical fruit and citrus based hops. We develop a complex array of flavours by mixing a healthy addition of wheat to a blend of speciality malts. This turns it into a full-bodied caramel beer with hints of chocolate and roast.
We make The Pump House Wit with nearly 50% wheat. We ferment spicy Belgian yeast at slightly higher temperatures to bring a clean roundness to its wheat sweetness. To flavour the beer further, we make a hey addition of coriander seeds — late in the boil — alongside pink peppercorns and bitter-sweet orange peel.
The Pump House Blonde is quite heavily hopped for a light beer. We pair Nelson Sauvin hops with a low terminal gravity of about 1.5°P in this beer. This brings out dry white wine like characteristics to its body and mouthfeel; while still maintaining a crisp malt taste with high effervescence.
We brew The Pump House Hefe by adding complexity to the traditional banana & clove beer with caramel and rye malt. We dry-hop the beer with US & German varieties, after removing the bulk of the yeast. This introduces lemon and citrus notes to its flavour.
We make The Pump House Stout with jaggery, wheat and various speciality malts, which give malt-rich sweetness to the beer. Roasted malts add a smooth yet subtle touch of coffee & chocolate to balance the sweetness and heat. We then introduce locally sourced roasted coffee beans to the whirlpool, along with more than 2 kilos of tropical hops, to further enhance the dark roasted flavours from the malt.
