The fact that 65% of crafted keg beers are pale ales = huge choice of drinks available. With that comes a certain level of confusion and fear of “the wrong buy” when at the bar so they expect certain pieces of information on the badge to make that choice quicker and easier.
In a survey of over 1,400 on trade beer drinkers, we asked what those pieces of information were. 72% of respondents said that style/colour was essential, followed by 67% then saying ABV. The 3rd most important information on the badge is the brewer and or/ brand. To benefit from this flourishing beer style, it is essential to bear this in mind when choosing the right Pale Ale for you.
61 Deep has been designed to clearly communicate all three pieces of information.
We need to make sure we are offering the right beer to the right customers and we talk about craft
Contemporary keg, provides a bridge between traditional smooth keg and craft beer whilst also offering an alternative taste and dispense profile for cask ale drinkers. It should be positioned to appeal to all categories
Pricing showcases 4 key categories within keg. 61 Deep should be priced towards the middle of the Contemporary Keg section alongside Greene King’s East Coast IPA – offering a good ROS opportunity at a price premium to standard keg
Appeals to the Mainstream whilst offers Premiumisation in line with category trends. ROS higher in more traditional pub venues than craft
61 Deep sits within the contemporary keg category offering a good ROS opportunity at a price premium to standard keg

9. Goldings, Cascade, Styrian

An easy-drinking, refreshing, light, golden ale which will appeal to
both ale and lager drinkers… and the occasional stilt walker.

Research shows the branding is more appealing than current and consumers find it easier to locate on the bar or shelf. Branding has a more premium look which taps into the trend of consumers wanting a more premium product and willing to pay the price that reflects that.
Eye tracking research* conducted revealed the new label, with George Peard featured on the front, was noticed by more respondents than the old label and attracted more visual attention.

Now bottle conditioned – research shows this suggests a more flavoursome and distinctive beer which is closer to cask beer.
What is Bottle Conditioned?
Bottle Conditioned beers, or Live Beer as some call it, contain live yeast which smooths and enhances the depth of flavour of the beer over time. The maturing process from the yeast also means the flavour is much closer to cask Pedigree.

It’s a nod to classic English Oyster Stouts often complemented by (but not containing) shellfish. Hints of chocolate, coffee and sweet treacle flavours and yet quite smooth and clean-tasting. Not that we’d ever crow about it.

An oldie but a goodie. This recipes been around for yonks. Clear, bright and full flavoured, with a malty biscuit taste. We named it after the train that once brought hops and malts into the Brewery. And then shipped the beer out. All aboard.
