Pacific Gravity

Pale Ale - ABV 4.2%

A fruity bomb Commonwealth Pale Ale, dreamt up in a collaboration between Westerham Brewery and Boneface Brewing in Wellington, New Zealand. May have a haze from the heavy charge of dry hops.

My Story

In this Coronation year, two of the Commonwealth’s great brewing nations have combined to create a light amber fruit-driven hazy pale ale using hops from three of its founding nations.

Back in 2006 Kelly Ryan, Brewing manager of Boneface Brewing in NZ visited Robert Wicks, Head Brewer of Westerham, looking for his fiorst UK brewing role. They came together in 2022 to brew Pacific Gravity and are reprising this beer once again to celebrate the Commonwealth of Nations

This is a collaboration fit for a King!
