East London based brewery Signature Brew has unveiled the return of its most anticipated annual brews, Anthology Imperial Stout.

The brewer is inviting beer lovers to experience two very special beers in one very tasty bundle. They’ve paired up the newly released Barrel Aged edition of Anthology 2020 with their freshly brewed batch of Anthology 2021 (£15 per two-pack of beers). 

Signature Brew shipped oak bourbon casks from Tennessee and ageing a portion of the brew in the barrels’ sweet, charred embrace.

After primary fermentation the beer was transferred to Old Forester bourbon barrels and left for three months to absorb the flavours of the spirit and wood. The rich, oak flavours meld with the dark, chocolatey malts of Anthology to create something truly special.

Anthology 2021 is a jet-black imperial stout delivers chocolatey, dark fruit flavours, perfectly balanced with a toasty bitterness. Topped off with a dense tan head this is a statement beer topping off a big year for the brewery.

This year’s Anthology time capsule marks the 10th year of Signature Brew. A year that saw Signature Brew win SIBA’s Brewery of The Year (for a second time!).

Signature Brew also helped friends connect over a pint of Lo-Fi and went on the news to announce their £250,000 beer grant fund to help independent venues. Beers were brewed with Hot Chip, Hospital Recs, Pigs x7, Big Joanie, The Wytches, Yonaka and Ed Gamble. 

Signature Brew also smashed the hell out of Big Foot Festival with help from Sports Team, Bob Vylan and many more. The brewery hosted over 40 gigs including The Skints, Dialled In Festival and a secret set from Skrillex. Plus, some killer stand-up comedy and a charity BBQ cook off.
