[Press Release] Sponge Cake In A Beer? Black Hops Brewing Launch Assault On Gabs 2016

Gold Coast, Australia – May 3, 2016

• Gold Coast trio Black Hops Brewing is about to launch an all-out assault on this year’s Great Australian Beer SpecTAPular (GABS). The not-so-secret weapon in their amber arsenal is a beer brewed specifically for the event, which they’ve named “Little Attack”.
• Now that local beer connoisseurs are spoiled with a plethora of exotic and left-field craft beers, what exactly does this fascinating blend bring to the table? In the words of head brewer Michael (Govs) McGovern; “We wanted a beer inspired by sponge cake, so we thought long and hard about how to do that and decided to add a piece of sponge cake to the beer!”
• So what does it taste like? Think of a classic American pale ale, if you will, with hints of English cupcake. Once the amber hits your taste buds, you’ll indulge in deliciously subtle flavors of creamy sherry, toasted coconut, Madagascar vanilla and milk sugar, with plenty of fresh fruit on the side. Clearly, this beer is not to be toyed with!
