KRFSHT (IDLES Collab.)

Description

KRFSHT! That's the almighty sound of a can of beer opening. Malty, mouthy and modern, this limited-edition toasted lager aspires to be as essential as the band we brewed it with. The beers unconventional name was conceived by the bands frontman, Joe Talbot. The artwork was also designed by the singer and the beers style, a toasted lager, was decided on by the band and developed by Signature Brews award-winning brew team.

Our head brewer, Tom Unwin explains how the new brew kit was utilised to create this particular brew, "To achieve the malty, full bodied effect in KRFSHT we used a traditional technique called 'decoction' mashing. In a nutshell, the malt is mashed as normal, but a 1/3 portion is then boiled, grains and all, for a short period. During this boil, the same melanoidin reactions which occur when bread is toasted occur in the grains. These reactions darken the grains (and the wort they produce) and add toasty and caramelised flavours. The boiled portion is then recombined with the rest of the mash to take the overall mash temperature up to it's next stage."

All orders also come with a foldout A3 poster zine with a limited-edition IDLES & Signature Brew art print.
