"Oakham <strong>Ale</strong>s produce<br />

On January 4th 2010<br />
Adrian Posnett<br />
joined Oakham <strong>Ale</strong>s<br />
as Sales & Marketing<br />
Director with a brief to put<br />
together and implement a<br />
long term growth plan for<br />
the company. By May of<br />

A delightfully refreshing pale<br />

Crystal malt with a delicate<br />
combination of Pioneer, Styrian<br />
Goldings and Lubelski hops.<br />
growth plan was in place<br />
and Adrian was appointed<br />
Managing Director. The field<br />
sales team increased from<br />
two to three in June and<br />
further staff were taken on<br />
in both the brewery and<br />
distribution teams. 2010 also<br />

Oakham <strong>Ale</strong>s produce exceptional<br />
full flavoured hoppy beers with its<br />
core range winning multiple awards.<br />
The Brewery strives to source the<br />
best possible ingredients by<br />
developing personal relationships<br />
with growers, farmers and all those<br />
they deal with in the sector. The<br />
Brewery produces truly innovative<br />
beers; for example Oakham <strong>Ale</strong>s was<br />
the first to produce a single varietal<br />
beer using the USA’s Citra hop<br />
(since then adopted by others).<br />
In 2000 the beers became<br />
strictly organic and later<br />
the same year they became<br />
strictly vegan. Marble's<br />
ingredients are sourced from<br />
non-intensive agriculture<br />
and they do not use isinglass<br />
finings, usually made from<br />
the swim bladder of the<br />
sturgeon, to clear the beer.<br />

size of its Maxwell Road<br />
premises due to increasing<br />
sales and beer volumes.<br />

"No home-brew kits were used in the<br />
making of this brewery!"<br />
Despite this the beer is<br />
seldom cloudy. Marble's<br />
head brewer, James<br />
Campbell, has said "We're<br />
busier than ever. The beer<br />
sells because it tastes good,<br />

GBBF BEST BITTER<br />
GOLD 2007<br />
A golden beer whose aroma<br />
is dominated by hops that give<br />
characteristic citrus notes.<br />
Hops and fruit on the palate<br />
are balanced by malt and<br />
a bitter base.<br />
This light, igniting ale flickers<br />
complex fruits across your<br />
tongue, leaving a dry, fruity,<br />
bitter finish, smothering<br />
your thirst.<br />
The Purple Moose Brewery was first conceived<br />
in the late summer of 1995, a name<br />
devised by Lawrence Washington to adorn<br />
the bottle labels for his new hobby of<br />
home-brewing. Although the 5 gallon<br />
operation was based in his house in<br />
Cheltenham, the brewery name had been<br />
thought up during a weekend carrying<br />
out voluntary work on the Ffestiniog<br />
Railway in North Wales.<br />

The original intention was<br />
not to brew anything at less<br />
than 4% abv, although there<br />
are now several exceptions<br />
to this, with 3.8% being the<br />
lowest strength available.<br />
