Briganti
An Italian-style lager first brewed in 2024 and made a core beer after strong feedback. Maize and Golden Naked oats give the smooth, rounded body the style calls for; Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Cryo Loral are added late, for a gently hoppy, floral and fruity aroma without much bitterness. Gently toasted malts and soft Sheffield water round it off, the finish is clean. The name recalls the Brigantes, the hill people of Roman-era Yorkshire. 4.5%; Silver at the World Beer Awards 2025.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Briganti
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.

What is a Italian Pilsner?
Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
