Batch Craft Beer + Vacancy Brewing Collab Beer Release

Introducing a + Collaboration

When our brew crew huddled up with the fine folks over at Batch Craft Beer & Kolaches to brainstorm our next concoction, we all drew inspiration from styles that we like to drink: sessionable lagers and English pub ales. Then someone said, “Why not both?” Cue collective beer nerd gasp.

Enter Extra Special Batch, a beer that tips its flat cap to the classic Extra Special Bitters of the Motherland.

Instead of using traditional English Ale yeast, we kept it cool with our cold-fermenting house lager yeast. Built upon a base of English Lager Malt and Marris Otter, this bloke gets a proper rounding out from three different English caramel malts and a cheeky kiss of East Kent Golding Hops. The result is a shiny penny-colored lager that’s been lagered for eight weeks. Expect notes of toasted biscuits, toffee, and just a hint of spice.

We couldn’t do a collaboration beer with Batch without bringing Kolaches into the mix! We’re hosting a Kolache Eating Contest at 7pm. Come early to sign up for a spot!

Let’s get knackered, cheerio!
