The two breweries have long admired each other's approach to cask and craft beers respectively, with Landlord and Jaipur both being widely regarded as the pioneers within their respective categories, and both having won more awards than any other beers.
The brewers' mutual knowledge and passion led them to brew a style of beer that could be showcased in the more traditional cask format for pubs, but also enjoyed in keg format for bars and restaurants and from cans for at home consumption.
The Artesian collaboration with Thornbridge comes just five months after Timothy Taylor's Hopical Storm became its first beer to be launched in cans.
Said Rob Lovatt, Head Brewer at Thornbridge: “We're incredibly proud to be the first brewery to work alongside Timothy Taylor's for a collaboration.
“Almost everyone at Thornbridge regularly drinks Landlord, so to create a modern pale ale with them is a really exciting idea for the whole team!”
Andy Leman, Timothy Taylor's Head Brewer, went on to say: “It's been a real, genuine pleasure to work alongside Rob Lovatt and the entire brewing team at Thornbridge to produce Artesian Elderflower and Gooseberry Pale Ale. They have a great reputation for their partnerships, and share our uncompromising passion for quality and consistency, so were a natural choice for brewing our first collaboration ale
“Artesian is a fresh pale ale that just screams summer and was brewed using Crystal, Chinook and Amarillo hops, Pale Ale malt and wheat. It's packed with aroma and flavour from the addition of elderflowers and gooseberries, and we're eager to hear how our customers enjoy it over the next few several weeks.”
At 4.2%, Artesian is a light, quaffable pale ale, which is brewed for easy enjoyment with bountiful elderflowers and zingy gooseberries added to create a really vibrant mix of summery flavours. For beer lovers who are keen on the concept of food pairing, it's a good match for goat cheese and fig crostini.
Artesian will be launching at the Thornbridge's Peakender Festival in the heart of the Peak District over the weekend of 18-20 August, and it will be available to trade and consumers from 21 August for a limited time only, so do watch out for it!
