Unfiltered is brewed to the same recipe as Camden’s Hells lager

Camden Town Brewery has launched its Unfiltered Hells lager in cans for the first time as part of its limited-edition Arch 55 series.

Unfiltered Hells, previously only available at Camden’s original brewery and bar in Kentish Town, is to debut in small-pack via the DTC later this month (rsp: £18/6x440ml).

It is brewed to the same recipe as Camden’s Hells lager, made with perle and hallertauer tradition hops and pilsner, malted wheat and carapils malt, before being fermented with a Bavarian lager yeast strain.

However, unlike Camden’s flagship lager, it is packaged straight from the fermentation tank, rather than passing through a filter first.

“The latest beer in our Arch 55 Series is one we know our OG Camden fans have been waiting for,” said Camden Town Brewery head of marketing Fred Nesbitt. “Our Hells Lager usually passes through a filter before we package it to remove the yeast, but Unfiltered Hells is packaged straight from the tank. Where Hells is sharp and clean, this unfiltered version is smoother and more full-bodied. The yeast grips hold of more hop flavour giving a satisfying depth.”

Alongside its core range of Hells Lager, Pale Ale, Eazy IPA, Lager Top and Stout, Camden Town Brewery releases small batch innovation beers under its ‘Arch 55’ series, named after the arch which housed the brewery’s original brewing kit.

Recent Arch 55 releases have included Kaleido Hazy IPA and Italian Pilsner.
