Meantime brewmaster, Alastair Hook, has spent 20 years planning the quintessential English lager. His reasoning is simple. The great European lager brewers use very soft water & neutral yeasts to ensure that only the flavours of their locally grown malt & hops come to the fore. East Anglia is home to the worlds finest malting barley & Kent is home to some of the worlds best hops. Midway between the two, London is ideally placed to bring them together in a straightforward, clean, long-matured, unpasteurised lager, where all you can taste is malt & hop. Food Pairings: The hops in Meantime London Lager enable it to stand up much better than most lagers to stronger flavours such as mature cheeses, hams & smoked meats, or oily fish.
