Beavertown Gamma Ray

Beer Description

Beavertown Gamma Ray is a modern American pale ale and one of the brewery’s defining beers. Public records place it in the early Beavertown era, before Heineken became connected through its 2018 investment. Gamma Ray represents the expressive side of modern British craft brewing: golden amber colour, top fermentation, citrus and tropical hop impression, malt support, and firm but drinkable bitterness. Within the archive, it captures Beavertown’s graphic, hop-forward identity as it entered the wider Heineken-connected portfolio.
