Brewer Timothy Taylor’s latest cask beer is its first to be put into a can.

The brewer, a winner of four CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain awards, says the move will make the Hopical Storm available to younger drinkers.

The 440ml canned version of the four per cent beer is sterile filtered and not pasteurised.

Launching the can, Timothy Taylor’s chief executive Tim Dewey said: “Hopical Storm is a delicious four per cent triple-hopped sessionable pale ale that strikes thirst and is a characterful twist on the tradition associated with Timothy Taylor’s.

“Having launched successfully in cask and keg, we recognised that Hopical Storm cans would be a logical extension to our range as they would suit the style and flavour profile.

“The decision has been welcomed by retailers who see the potential for a refreshing triple-hopped pale ale in the off-trade that is more accessible than higher ABV beers in the category.

Hopical Storm is brewed using five UK-grown hops in three stages of hopping: Cascade and Whitbread Goldings in the copper, Cascade and Chinook at the hop back stage, then dry-hopped with Jester and Ernest.

Combined with Timothy Taylor’s natural Knowle spring water, barley malts and the unique yeast to create the tropical storm of flavour and aroma. Hopical Storm is notable for its pale golden appearance and clarity and is vegan-friendly, wearing the distinctive Vegan Trademark and certified by the Vegan Society.
