Table Beer, The Kernel Brewery

Light in alcohol. Full in flavour.

The Kernel’s Table Beer is a low-strength pale ale brewed to deliver real character, depth, and balance at around 3% ABV. First brewed in 2012, it was developed with the idea of creating something modest in strength but rich in body and aroma – drawing more from the English cask tradition than the punchier American pale styles. This is not a compromise beer. It’s a deliberate exercise in subtlety, balance, and restraint.

Expect a pale golden pour with a soft, rounded body and gentle carbonation. The oats and elevated mash temperature bring fullness and a touch of sweetness to support the hops. Aromas vary by batch – from citrus and tropical fruit to floral or piney notes – but always in balance, never overwhelming. Bitterness is present but restrained. This is a beer built for repeat sips and long conversations.
