Chalky's Bark
Rick Stein and the Award winning Sharp’s Brewery have collaborated to create this unique new beer. Inspired by the success of their original creation, Chalky’s Bite, the team are proud to present Chalky’s Bark.
As with Chalky’s Bite, Chalky’s Bark tastes great, is an excellent food partner and has a novel ingredient, which this time is ginger.
Head Brewer Stuart Howe says, “Rick has always been a fan of ginger beers so we opted for ginger, and selected a lower ABV to contrast with Bite. I was keen for Bark to be a beer with ginger rather than a ginger beer and used a hop with a lemony aroma to complement the contribution of the fresh ginger”.
In Chalky’s Bark, which is triple fermented, ginger works in synergy with continental hops. This light, fruity and refreshing beer works particularly well with Asian dishes and seafood.
Taste Notes from Head Brewer Stuart Howe
"Spicy lemon-fruit and ginger predominate the nose with some delicate lychee notes. The heat of ginger lifts the gently-sweet body and contrasts beautifully with citrus fruitiness in the mouth. The finish is light and dry with a prickle of ginger and a subtle, fruity bitterness. Chalky’s Bark is a complex and refreshing beer with tons of character."
