Pedigree. Now with added personality. They haven’t changed the taste. Just how it looks. So welcome to the new-look Pedigree, or “P” as it was first known. Strange that, looking back.

Tasting Notes: Anyway, it has a fascinating aroma, with a palate of biscuit malt, spicy hops and light fruitiness. It was renamed in a staff competition back in George Peard’s day. He was the Head Brewer at the time – that’s him on the clip. Cheers George.

Our extraordinary brewing team need little encouragement to apply their expertise to new brews and styles! Challenged to produce a new cask-conditioned beer to meet the growing interest in cooler served craft beers, they have 'done us proud!' Theakston SUMMIT (Cold Pale Ale) is our latest cask ale innovation; a 4.2% ABV beer that delivers the quality and freshness of cask at a chilled temperature. Especially brewed to retain all the balanced flavour qualities of cask ale served at the cooler temperature of 6-8°C for added refreshment. Brewed with new world SUMMIT, EL DORADO and CASCADE hops – then infused with AMARILLO hops to deliver an extra hefty burst of citrus fruit aroma!

Tasting Notes: Bold tropical fruit aromas give way to a zesty, citrus, tangerine fruit flavour. Brewed with finest sweet malt to give a perfectly balanced and refreshing pale Ale. Served extra chilled.
