• Ingredients

  Hops are a wonderful thing – the spice of beer, the magic ingredient which provides flavour, bitterness and protection against spoilage. Before hops, Botanical uses in beer, brewers experimented with many different herbs including bog myrtle, yarrow, heather, ginger, juniper berries…. basically, anything that could be locally sourced. There are many different varieties of hops available. Botanical sources their organic hops in Worcester and they have selected two English varieties Sovereign and First Gold both bred in 1995 at Wye College in the UK. Botanical chose to use organic hops leaves to ensure no negative impact of harmful chemicals on the leaves they use to infuse their products.

  The wonderful organic leaves add a delicious sour tang and astringency to every sip, making for a refreshing sensory experience. In addition to the hop leaf, they use conventional hopping from selected local hop varieties.  These are added during wort boiling in the brew to add a subtle bitterness.

  Binary Botanical sources local English pilsner-style barley malt which, when coupled with the wheat dextrose, produces a light, clean product.  Their choice of wine yeast helps to accentuate the prosecco-like profile and the natural flavours work to boost the body and mouthfeel of the product.

• Why does Fressco promote this producer ?

  Binary Botanical is a new generation of alcoholic bevvy – it’s a beer for wine lovers. It’s light, refreshing, perfect for sharing – and best of all, it’s practically good for you! This unique beer has half the calories and alcohol of wine, is sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan, and locally sourced. All of this resulted in the creation of a perfect balance between delicious flavour and better for you. 

  As experienced members of the brewing fraternity, the inspiration for binary came from their shared frustration of wanting a moderate alcoholic beverage – yet not enjoying the traditional bitter taste of beer. Botanical are unapologetic about their slightly geeky approach to the technical aspects of their product and apply exceptional quality standards with complete adherence to the more complex recipe. 

  Binary has been brewed to democratise refreshment and moderation; a beer that everyone can enjoy! So please enjoy the fruits of our labour. We certainly do!
