Black Rock Classic Draught

Black Rock Classic Draught is a classic full-bodied, easy-drinking brown beer that will be familiar to many NZ beer drinkers (Think Speight's, Waikato Draught, Lion Red). This popular session beer is both satisfying and thirst-quenching with full-bodied malt character from the Crystal and Black specialty malts balanced with a moderate bitterness . Brew with 1kg Black Rock Liquid Brewing Sugar (or 1kg other sugar) for a cleaner finish. For more body, colour and malt flavour use 1.7kg Black Rock Unhopped Light unhopped malt extract instead of sugar.

This Classic Draught pours a deep amber color with an SRM of 12, offering a rich and complex malt profile. The blend of MaltEurop Lager, Gladfield Medium Crystal, Light Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, and Aurora malts provides a full-bodied mouthfeel with notes of caramel, chocolate, and a hint of roasted coffee. The bitterness from NZ Hops Green Bullet™ is moderate, contributing to a balanced finish with an IBU of 25. At 4.5% ABV, this Classic Draught is both sessionable and satisfying, making it a perfect choice for any occasion.

Costly, time-consuming all grain processes are not necessary to create quality craft wort at home. Discerning home brewers are always looking to improve their brewing techniques and beer quality. With this in mind, the master brewers at Black Rock have expertly brewed the highest quality fresh wort in a state-of-the-art Krones brewery, using only the finest fresh NZ malt before gently evaporating to 80 brix for your convenience.

For best results, brew Black Rock Classic Draught with Black Rock Unhopped Light & an 11.5g sachet of Fermentis Yeast: SafAle™ US-05.
