www.realalesoap.com has been launched and looks great. Over 20 Hand made soaps all made with

differenent ales. Take the Bar home and wash in beautuful Beer suds. Cheers.

Here is what Aster from www.realalesoap.com has to say about her new exciting Business:

We started creating beer soap as an appreciation of the fantastic qualities that real ale holds. Beer isn't just for drinking!

Beer contains hops, which are well known for their relaxing and skin conditioning properties. Hops also provide many other excellent skin benefits including soothing irritated skin and the polyphenols account for its anti-bacterial and preservative effects.

We use different beers for each soap, straight from the barrel to the bar. Dependent upon the beer that we use, the amounts and types of hops, malts, and fruits used when brewing the beer, the colour will differ and this creates a rainbow of natural shades of soap. The beer produces the creamiest lather and creates a small rich bubble which feels luxurious on the skin. All these properties are naturally found in beer! The alcohol from the beer does not remain in the soap after the soap making

process and the ‘beery’ scent is removed during curing leaving behind all the natural skin conditioning properties.

Our soaps are made with natural oils and butters such as Pure Olive oil, Unrefined Cocoa and Shea Butter and coconut oil. All products are vegan- friendly and we never test any ingredients on animals or use animal products. We use the highest quality essential and fragrance oils, which help to bring the unique characteristics of each beer.

An epic beer is being born and brewed today. Dr.Hardwicke's Double IPA 8.5%. Brewed with huge amounts of 3 varieties of American Hops, added continuously over a 85 minute boil and then dry hopped in the fermenter and cask. Look out for this beer in our tap house towards the end of April. What better way to enjoy Spring that with a pint of 8.5% Double IPA :)

The Amazing Rockstone in Southampton is open and ready for action. Stocking an excellent range of Sadler's Ales and serving the very finest home cooked food, this Country Pub in the City is a must for any Real Ale fan.

The Winning description:

"Before I tasted - before I even read the bottle actually - I caught the familiar smell of Lychees. It hits the pallet with a softness like mineral water, the Lychees wash around the back of my tongue & a very subtle & gentle hoppy sweetness spreads from the centre to the tip of my tongue. For me there is an after-taste of roasted grapefruit! Sweet, not sharp. Such a surprise. Seriously... I'm not sure if its because I have a fondness for Lychees, but it is one of the most developed flavour sensations I've had from a beer! Absolutely love it... just wished the bottle was a bit bigger ;-) Got to get more tonight if they're still on the shelves "

Gareth the Bar Manager at our Brewery Tap House has a family history of loving hops! Gareths great grandmother and family are pictured above picking wonderful English hops the old school way.

RED IPA 5.7% will be ready to be enjoyed from next week. Packed full of American and Australian Hops this is going to be an epic beer to kick off the Festive season.
