Original Gravity 6%

To mark 45 years of brewing in the Chiltern Hills, we’ve gone back to the first pint - where it all began – and fortified it for the occasion!

In 1980, our Founder Mr Richard Jenkinson's very first brew – Gyle #1 – went on to become today’s Chiltern Pale Ale. To celebrate 45 years of Chiltern Brewery, we’ve gone back to our very beginning and brewed an exciting one-off, which is stronger and bolder for this milestone year.

The result is Original Gravity, a limited edition draught real ale brewed at 6.0% abv. A fortified version of Chiltern Pale Ale (normally 3.7%), it is rich with Maris Otter, wheat and crystal malts, balanced by Challenger, Fuggles, Goldings and North Down hops.

Expect a rewarding depth of orange, pine and spice.

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!
