Nya Carnegiebryggeriet Amber

Sometimes the whole thing gets bigger than the sum of the parts. The food you eat may be excellent, but when you combine it with a beer that reflects, accompanies and enhances the flavors and tastes already present on the plate, it becomes heavenly. Yes, pure as a revelation. The new Amber of Carnegie Brewery may be our most versatile beer created for food. It sings in unison with the caramelised notes of grilled meats and roasted vegetables, it has fun with all sorts of sausages and it enjoys being in the company of a real barbecue. This ale is based on classic British bitters, though we still refer to it as malt-driven. It is undoubtedly the malt that shines on the high seat. Of course, the subtle grassy and herbal notes of English Fuggles hops are also included at the table. Modern malt varieties are usually beautiful, if quite neutral. To give our amber a deeper malt character, we use an older, more aromatic malt variety called Maris Otter. The taste is further enhanced by placing the malt on the ground floor by hand. Nobody really knows why, but it's exactly the melting of the ground that attracts aroma dimensions that do not occur with modern smelting methods. Together with the orange-like fruits of the house yeast of the Brooklyn Brewery, this produces a beer that we find very harmonious. I hope you agree!
