The Greene King Brewery has announced two new products being introduced into the retail market as part of the brand's continued expansion and initiative to keep growing its marketshare. The beers include the Double Header and the Imperial IPA, which are both driven by the brand's heritage and pay homage to its history from a regional perspective as well as a libation standpoint. The Double Header is a double dry-hopped IPA with a 6.4% ABV, while the Imperial IPA has a 19th century IPA style and a 6% ABV.
Managing Director for Brewing & Brands and Group Supply Chain Matt Starbuck spoke on the new offerings from the Greene King Brewery saying, "We continue to innovate in brewing and are constantly looking at trends and customer demand in the beer category to ensure we have a strong portfolio to offer consumers and in the formats they are looking for. We are excited to launch two very different beer styles with different propositions into the market. What they both have in common is that they are backed by over 200 years of brewing knowledge and expertise, celebrating the history and pride we have for brewing beer."
