‘Pinecone’ unveiled as historic September Brewer Signature

The latest addition to our Brewer Signature range has made history – in being Woodforde’s first ever cask beer to be both vegan and gluten-free.

Pinecone, the brainchild of brewer Jack Mortimer, is our Brewer Signature offering for September, drawing on more than a decade of experience from the innovative brewer.

The 4% amber ale uses a mix of American and New Zealand hops to give it strong notes of pine, supported by a malty backbone that perfectly melds the two flavours.

Jack said it was great to work on creating such a historic addition to the limited-edition line-up.

He added: “I’ve worked in the industry now for around 13 years. Over that time it’s built from a vocation into a passion.

“I find the science and artistry behind beer very interesting.

“I really enjoy beers that strike a nice balance. I like malty notes and I like hoppy notes – so I wanted to create a beer that toed both lines.

“From a brewing perspective I’m always interested in the balance between the malt and hop notes. I want to make a beer that had a bit of a malty backbone but still had a lovely hoppy aroma.

“I also wanted to make my beer a bit different to what we do at Woodforde’s, in making it vegan and gluten-free.”

Like with all our Brewer Signature beers, Pinecone is available exclusively in cask to our on-trade customers for just one month only.

Pubs looking to stock Pinecone behind their bar are advised to act quickly to avoid disappointment.

Orders can be placed by calling the sales team on 01603 720353.

Drinkers looking for vegan options outside of cask should look to our online store where are entire core range of ales are available in bottles and kegs with zero animal derivatives.
