Birgitte Skadhauge, Head of the Carlsberg Research Laboratory, said: “When we were set the challenge of brewing an all red beer for Liverpool FC fans, as part of our constant pursuit of better, we knew it wouldn’t be easy.
Unlike traditional red ales, the red colour of this pilsner comes from the outer-shell of the red barley variant - which has a relatively low climate-resistance and has therefore proved tricky to grow in the quantity we required for brewing.
It’s taken over a year of experimentation, but we’re delighted that our team have finally been able to crack it. We brewed this special beer for Liverpool FC fans and we hope they enjoy it.”
