Genevieve, Greene King Thornbridge collab

Greene King Brewery is launching its first collaboration cask brew with Derbyshire-based brewer, Thornbridge, this September. 

Genevieve is a 4.5% ABV West Coast IPA which combines pineapple and citrus flavours to create a hop-forward cask beer with a clean, crisp body. The beer will be available for venues to order across September and October, including for Cask Ale Week celebrations. 

Founded in 2005 in the grounds of the historic Thornbridge Hall, Thornbridge Brewery has quickly earned a reputation as one of the UK’s most pioneering craft brewers and has award-winning beers such as its flagship Jaipur IPA. Beginning with a small 10-barrel set-up in Derbyshire, Thornbridge has now grown into a state-of-the-art brewery in Bakewell. 

Thornbridge has won more than 350 national and international awards and continues to push boundaries in beer styles while staying true to its cask ale roots. 

The recipe for Genevieve was created together at the Thornbridge Brewery, with trial brews and then the final brews taking place at the Greene King Brewery in Bury St Edmunds. The cask beer is dry-hopped using two varieties that Greene King has not used together before in a brew, Bravo and Sultana.
