Golden Valley - Belgian Brett Pale Ale

Golden Valley is our homage to Orval, the Belgian Trappist beer that has served as a huge inspiration for our brewing philosophy at Slow Lane. A bitter ale fermented with a Belgian Abbey yeast strain and dry hopped with Styrian Golding hops, then can-conditioned with Brettanomyces to give the beer its distinctive complexity. Similarly to Orval, this is a living beer and its flavours will continue to develop during extended cellaring.

Leann Dearg - Irish Red Ale

We’ve been hosting traditional Irish music sessions at our brewery taproom over the last few months, so thought it was about time we brewed our first Irish beer style. An Irish Red Ale, or Leann Dearg if you’re speaking Irish, is a malty but easy drinking ale. Brewed with a base of flavourful Maris Otter malt and just enough roasted barley to give it an amber-red colour. Just in time for St Patrick's Day, Sláinte!

Botany Weisse Pineapple - Fruited Sour

This beer started out as our traditional mixed fermentation Berliner Weisse style beer which undergoes a long secondary fermentation with Brett ‘wild’ yeast. We then added a whole lot of pineapple to the beer which builds upon the pineapple esters that the Brett already produces. The fruit sugars were fully fermented out to maintain the dryness of the base beer. Combined with a high carbonation level, this is a very spritzy and refreshing beer.

It underwent a long secondary fermentation with Brett ‘wild’ yeast resulting in increased complexity through the production of fruity esters. We then added a substantial amount of mango and passionfruit to the tank and refermented the beer on this.

Drop It Slow - BA Fruited Sour - One Drop Collab

A collaboration between two Botany neighbours that's been over a year in the making. Produced using a combination of new world and old world brewing techniques. We brewed this beer at One Drop before transporting it down the street to Slow Lane where it was racked to oak barrels to age with Brettanomyces. After 10 months and a whole lot of mango being added, we bottled it and laid it down for a further 5 months bottle conditioning. It was well worth the slow drop, with the end product being the ideal combo of sour, fruit and funk.
