The company said Kobold English lager also uses a yeast from its ales, adding an extra point of difference.

“It’s unusual to use an ale yeast in a lager, but we wanted Kobold to be a true Adnams lager,” said head brewer Fergus Fitzgerald. “Using our house yeast was fundamental to making it part of the Adnams family.”

Kobold English will be available in Adnams pubs and retail stores. The lager will be rolled out to other pubs from next month.

Sales of Kobold will support marine conservation projects starting with Blue Marine Foundation, which works to protect UK seas and coastlines.
