Kernel Foeder Beer

Fermented in their foudre (big oak barrel) this is a mixed culture fermentation using a Belgian Pale Ale strain. Lots of bittering hops have been used so the beer isn't too tart and the use of the foudre adds a lovely weight and texture.

The Kernel was brewing in Bermondsey before the now-famous Beer Mile was even a thing. Founded in 2009 by Evin O'Riordan, it set the standard that many others would follow - proper, no-nonsense beer with a focus on quality over hype. And they're not one of those trendy craft brewery brands that started small but sold out to the corporates when the big boys came knocking. The Kernel's indie credentials and credibility are as strong today as they were when they started.
