Hogs Back Brewery is adding to its Little Swine family of low-alcohol beers with the launch of flavoured craft ale Little Ginger Swine.
The full range of Little Swine craft beers
With an ABV of 0.5%, and spiced up with natural ginger extract after brewing, Little Ginger Swine is a full-bodied, flavourful pale ale, brewed with four speciality malts. There are three hop varieties in the recipe, including aromatic Cascade from Hogs Back’s own hop garden, and a dry hop of Mosaic for a robust citrus finish.
The addition of ginger gives a spicy kick, which complements the crisp, smooth ale, creating a beer that punches well above its weight in flavour terms, despite its low ABV. Little Ginger Swine joins Little Swine 2.8% and Little Swine 0.5% in Hogs Back’s expanding range of low-alcohol beers.
“We’re delighted to be extending our Little Swine family,” said Hogs Back managing director Rupert Thompson. “The strong consumer response to the existing Little Swine beers has shown that demand for low-alcohol beers with plenty of character continues to grow.
“Little Ginger Swine has all the fiery character you’d expect from ginger, with some to spare. We think that’s all part of its charm. It has a wonderful flavour that offers something different for the increasing number of beer drinkers enjoying low-alcohol beers, making Little Ginger Swine a welcome new addition to the Little Swine family of beers.”
