Frothfinders Beer - Launch
Frothfinders Beer - Launch
The ‘Loyal Federation of Frothfinders’ was founded over 100 years ago by renowned artist, illustrator and cartoonist William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) and his two famous artist brothers Thomas and Charles, who loved to walk the lush Metroland of Pinner, Hatch End and surrounding towns…in search of a refreshing ale. From 21 January to 26 March, a new exhibition at the brand-new Heath Robinson Museum in Pinner – The Brothers Robinson – will showcase illustrations from all three brothers. In February, to accompany this exhibition, we will present our first Frothfinders beer, brewed and bottled for the museum by Paradigm Brewery in Sarratt, Herts. Paradigm Brewery beers are natural, with no added chemicals or stabilisers; brewed traditionally using the finest hops, malted barley… and a passion for proper beer.
The Frothfinders ale is a smooth and well-balanced best bitter, made with five malts giving depth of character; with English hops for gentle bitterness (full tasting notes below). This locally-brewed real ale will be available from the Heath Robinson Museum shop during February – watch this space for more announcements! Note that there is no charge to come in to the museum shop but do stay to see the exhibition if you can! The museum is open Friday-Saturday-Sunday from 11am-4pm.
The Frothfinders ale will be available in individual 500ml bottles and in a custom-designed presentation gift pack containing three 500ml bottles.

The Frothfinders Flavour – Tasting Note
Maris Otter Malt and Spring Malt from Suffolk provides the base
Overlay some roasted malts - crystal malt adds a toffee flavour and colour, caramalt distinctive sweetness, a chocolate roasted malt a coffee flavour and gives the brown colour.
Finally there is a touch of wheat in there for head retention.
The English hops hail from Worcestershire and add the smooth and subtle bitterness.
