Complex and flavoursome, deceptively light and refreshing, subtle oak smoked aroma, hint of dark chocolate taste with a delicate touch of liquorice on the finish. Brewed using a blend of six different malts; traditional and pale malts for richness and depth, chocolate and smoked malts for a distinctive flavour, malted oats and roasted barley malt to enhance the finish. Based on an original Cornish recipe mena dhu means black hill named after the farm that was owned by Walter Hicks, the founder of St Austell Brewery a new generation stout that combines the best of the old with added complexity and refreshment.
St Austell Brewery
St Austell Brewery’s story began in 1851 when founder Walter Hicks mortgaged his farm for £1,500 to set up a new family business in St Austell. Walter started out as a modest wine merchant and maltster before buying the local Seven Stars Inn in 1863. Nestled on East Hill in St Austell, it was here where he learned the art of brewing. The business rapidly outgrew its original site, leading to relocation on Tregonissey Lane in 1893, where St Austell Brewery remains to this day. There have been many alterations and improvements over the years, but the essential brewhouse of 1893 still sits firmly at the heart of it all.
