Greene King Partners with Wolfpack

Greene King is launching a new seasonal cask beer this May, Wolfpack Sesh IPA, in partnership with the London-born brewery.

The 3.8% IPA is a refreshing golden ale with the perfect balance of flavours and aromas that capture the essence of those warm summer evenings to come. The use of rye and crystal malts reveal toffee and spice flavours, while the addition of the pale and carapils malts add sweetness and body to deliver a truly delicious sessionable beer for guests to enjoy.

As part of an ongoing distribution relationship with the brewer, Wolfpack Sesh IPA is a brand-new edition to Greene King’s Fresh Cask Releases calendar this year and is available for customers to order in cask throughout May and June.

Wolfpack Brewery was co-founded by international rugby players on a mission to create dangerously good craft beer for ‘Social Animals’. Greene King is Wolfpack’s official distribution partner and supports the brewer with selling into outlets and retailers across the UK, as well as on the Greene King online shop.

Jack Palmer, Head Brewer at Greene King, said: “We were really excited to welcome Wolfpack to join our seasonal calendar with its first cask beer this year. We understand that guests are wanting those lighter cask styles in colour and flavour as the weather starts to improve and we wanted to offer something new and eye-catching for guests to try with Wolfpack Sesh IPA.”

Alistair Hargreaves, co-founder of Wolfpack and a former Saracens and South African international rugby player, said: “We have been working with Greene King for a number of years and it’s brilliant to be able to create a bespoke cask beer that forms part of a wider limited-edition collection. Our Sesh IPA is a truly refreshing golden beer and ideal as we head into summer, with sporting occasions drawing in consumers looking to enjoy a lighter, sessionable pint with their pack members.”

Wolfpack Sesh IPA is just one of the new beers that forms part of the wider Fresh Cask Releases calendar, a portfolio of 13 limited-edition cask beers available at specific times throughout the year.
