Fell Brewery has worked with the team at Our Farm by Simon Rogan on the second in a series of beers, a courgette and mint gose.
The beer makes use of surplus produce grown on the farm near the Lake District village of Cartmel. The 3% ABV brew makes use of a simple malt base to support juiced courgettes, as well as fermented courgette juice, spritzed up with salt and a restrained amount of pineapple mint. The beer has a light finish, with a lingering freshness.
The brew is being poured at the first ever edition of Local Heroes, a celebration of local artisans this week, at Simon Rogan’s one Michelin-starred Rogan & Co, Cartmel.
During the week, guests will be able to enjoy Courgette and Mint Gose served alongside a specially designed seasonal set menu curated by Rogan & Co head chef Tom Reeves. He will showcase ingredients from some of the finest local suppliers and producers.
“When we were approached by Simon’s team to see if we could incorporate some of these classic Rogan ingredients into a beer, I saw the value straight away and understood entirely,” said Fell Brewery founder Tim Bloomer.
“At Fell, we are striving to embrace our surroundings more in everything we do, to be a brewery that is truly of this amazing place. What better place to learn than beside the team that puts that at the very heart of everything they do.”
