What's in a name?
Naming our beers was one of the trickier tasks we came up against when designing our branding. There are so many craft beer legends out there with super creative, clever and witty names. After thinking long and hard and after lots of puns and plays on words (mostly from co-founder John) we realised that we may have been trying to be something we’re not.
Now that’s not to say we aren’t creative, clever or witty…we just forgot that starting the Copper Beech Brewing company was a very personal journey. Each beer has been brewed from the heart with a memory attached and we didn’t want to keep it all to ourselves so we thought what better way to share them with you? Read on to find out how your beer got its name.
Senescence
Senescence marks the final stage of a plant's development, when leaves change colour and fall as autumn arrives.
Inspired by this seasonal transformation, our first kettle sour is bursting with sour cherries and blackberries, creating the perfect flavour profile for the turning of the seasons.
Like the leaves of our namesake copper beech, we are continually growing and evolving - shedding past versions of ourselves to make way for fresh ideas and exciting new possibilities.
We hope you enjoy Senescence, the first of many sour creations to come.
