RSSFuel your desire with Project Venus
Nicholson's are proud to welcome Project Venus in to the cask ale fold this Winter, with their American Black Ale 'Venus Black'.
Project Venus was conceived by Grantham brewer, Sara Barton from Brewster's Brewery. Sara had come across The Pink Boots Society, a US group promoting women in brewing, and so decided to start a group called Project Venus in the UK. The aim is simply to show off female brewing at its best.
Following on from the successes of Venus Jade and Venus Rouge, Venus Black hopes to challenge the senses with a beer that is hopped like an IPA yet is black in colour but with none of the heavy, dark malt flavours usually associated with a dark coloured ale.
The brewsters involved in the latest collaboration were Sara Carter (Triple fff Brewery, Hants) Sara Barton (Brewsters Brewery, Lincs) Kathy Britton (Oldershaws, Lincs) Sue Hayward (The Waen Brewery, Montgomeryshire) and Catherine Murphy (Buntingford Brewery, Herts).
