Red Ryding Hood 4.2%

The Chiltern Brewery

Celebrating 45 Years of Beer!

Red Ryding Hood is part of our Small Batch Brews, this is the eight release for 2025.

Red Ryding Hood is a rye beer and a deep, lustrous red. An ale rich with toffee and gentle spice flavours. It is dry hopped with East Kent Goldings, to give a herbal lift and earthy finish. 

A wonderfully smooth rye beer that is well rounded, with a happy ending!

Brewed with 6 malts and grains – Maris Otter, Rye, Crystal Rye, Roasted Barley, Crystal 150 and Wheat. And 3 hops – Target, East Kent Goldings and Challenger. 

Our Small Batch Brews are beers that we usually brew on our Pilot Kit.

Quantity is limited as a result, but the beers carry bags of flavour and character, to make up for being few in number! Almost always brewed to recipes created by our Brewers, using either malts, or hops, (or both!) that we have gone out of our way to source, just for these beers.

As with each of our beers, we take no short-cuts. These are brewed properly to produce flavourful, characterful and genuinely interesting beers!
