Blender Head
Blender Head is a sour ale at 4.1 % and the first collaboration between Tap Social and NewGround Coffee, two Oxford social enterprises that train and employ people from prison. It is brewed with a blend of Colombian and Ethiopian beans plus a touch of cherry purée. The result is balanced and sessionable: clearly sour, with coffee on the nose and palate and only a faint trace of cherry. It is sold in cans.
