Champagne Beer: Kasteel Cru

by Piers Fawkes

Champagnebeer
Kasteel Cru is a beer that uses ‘Champagne Yeast’ for a strong, sparkling lager. Brewed in Alsace, we picked this bottle up at the PSFK get together at the REfuel bar at the Soho Hotel on Monday - and it’s pretty damn fine.

We’ve never found Champagne Beer - and we’ve visited a lot of places they sell beer - but someone told us that Champagne Beer is not a new idea - infact, it’s a Barley Wine. "Years ago, people used to love Barley Wine. We called it Stogey. They were mad for it. They’d drink it and go crazy," one older fine gent told us.
