Inspired by, and to mark Smoked Beer Preservation Day, we are pairing up with the legends at Clifton Chilli Club to bring you a day of awesome food and beer with a smoky twist.
Smoked Beer Preservation Day was started by Schlenkerla Brewery in Bamberg to mark July 23rd 1635, the fateful date the first smoke-free malt kilning system was patented. Because this new British system was cheaper, safer and allowed greater experimentation with flavour, it resulted in smoke free beer becoming gradually dominant all over the world and the original, smoky tasting, beer being turned into a rare, almost extinct speciality.
Only in Bamberg in Germany was the traditional fire kiln continuously preserved, at Schlenkerla themselves and at Spezial Brewery. Our smoked beers, like most others around the world use beech wood smoked malt from the legendary Weyermann Maltings in Bamberg.
We celebrate this date by hooking up with our friends at Clifton Chilli Club for a day of matching smoked food with beer, and smoked beer with food! So come and join us for good eats, good drinks, good tunes and very good times.
£18 for three beers & three dishes.
