Shark Bait, Outta Time, Breakfast Club, Maverick, and Jingle All The Way complete the line-up, which is set to take centre stage in a selection of St Austell Brewery’s managed pubs, as well as in its leased and tenanted estate across the West Country, and in independent pubs across the UK throughout the year.
The beers form part of St Austell Brewery’s Cask Club series, which sees its brewers experiment by bringing unique brews to life in its small batch brewery.
Shark Bait is said to be light and zesty with flavours of passionfruit and stone fruits. Available from Monday 3 March, drinkers can expect a clean, crisp and fruity 3.9% ABV session pale ale that’s “the perfect thirst-quencher to enjoy on dry land”.
Collaboration with Toast Brewing
Outta Time is a 4.3% ABV golden ale, said to feature a mix of floral, herbal and tropical hop flavours, which “come together in harmony with sweet, oaty malt”. This one is released on Thursday 6 March.
Breakfast Club, a 4.5% ABV golden ale, is a brewing collaboration between St Austell Brewery and Toast Brewing, a London-based craft brewery that uses surplus bakery bread to brew its beers. St Austell said the fresh and fruity golden ale has been crafted with British Harlequin and Jester hops alongside Toast’s surplus bread crumb and will be available from Monday 30 June.
Maverick is claimed to be an “acceleration of orange, hops, and honey” that will hit the bar from Monday 1 September. It is said to be pale in colour and full-bodied with the 4.5% ABV American IPA being brewed with Amarillo, Citra and Cascade hops.
Finally, Jingle All The Way will be the “Christmas hero of the pub” from Monday 17 November. St Austell said the 4.1% ABV amber ale has a “rich aroma of piney hops and raisin, toffee and malt notes”. The brewery added it has a “deep and bittersweet finish, having been brewed with British ingredients including Challenger and Goldings hops, it’s the perfect tipple to ring in the festive season”.
Iconic films
St Austell Brewery brewing director Georgina Young said: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new collection of limited-edition cask beers, inspired by some of the most iconic films in cinematic history.
“This exclusive line pays tribute to legendary movies, blending storytelling with great flavours for an immersive drinking experience. Whether you’re a fan of action-packed thrillers or timeless classics, there’s a brew that should capture everyone.”
If you haven’t worked out the associated films, Shark Bait is Jaws, Outta Time is Back To The Future, Breakfast Club is The Breakfast Club, Maverick is Top Gun and Jingle All The Way is the eponymous Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
