Chevalier was cultivated from the seeds of a ‘fine ear of barley’ that an English labourer found in his shoe. From this humble beginning the varietal went on to dominate the British brewing harvest during the 1800s. That was until a tax on malt forced brewers to substitute Chevalier with cheaper grains. As a new make, Chevalier presents a creamy dairy quality that is heightened with the addition of wheat spirit creating an incredibly rich mouthfeel.
