Brewing Today: Titanic Brewery

Multi award-winning Titanic Brewery was established during 1985 in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Their first beer brewed was named Titanic Premium. This beer is continued today, with the name changed to ANCHOR (4.1% vol) and is very popular with many beer drinkers. The complete range of beers, from the Titanic Brewery, are all distinctive in their own right, having ‘devotees’ for a good number of the productions. Their ‘Beer of the Month’ has numerous followers and can include selected pale, traditional ruby, plum porter and others, which are carefully chosen, each month. I found something for all tastes, amongst Titanic’s beers. PUB IN A BOX is extremely popular. Whilst being a splendid treat to enjoy at home, it is an obvious great gift idea, too. The box contains various bottled and canned beers, a Titanic Brewery pint glass, plus snacks and beer mats. A personalised gift card, with a message of your choice, can be included for a small charge. Different boxes – if a preference is required – can be for a Titanic Dark Ales Box, Titanic Light Ales Box, Mixed Can Cases and others. STEERAGE (3.8% vol) pale ale has a good floral and hoppy aroma with a dry, refreshing mouthfeel and palate experience. ICEBERG (4.1% vol) is an American Pale Ale that was one of the first UK beers to use US hop varieties – citrusy and zesty. CAPPUCCINO STOUT (4.5% vol) has a good aroma of coffee, which follows through to the flavour of this stout, admirably. CHOCOLATE & VANILLA STOUT (4.5% vol) has chocolate and vanilla scents, leading enticingly, to the smooth, creamy taste. WHITE STAR (4.5% vol) I found to be golden and crisp, with an excellent aroma, evoking thoughts of honey and hops. An excellent fruity, malty ale. RASPBERRY PALE (4.7% vol) has raspberries on the nose, then a light, fresh mouthfeel and palate sensation. PLUM PORTER (4.9% vol) is a deep-red, with plum flavours in abundance – splendid! CAPTAIN SMITHS (5.2% vol) is traditional, malty and strong – a firm favourite. The website has all information, including details about the range of beers, plus pubs, shop, tours, events, loyalty programme and more.
