Keeping it local

We've partnered with Hampshire's craft brewer, Flower Pots, using their rich, dark Cheriton Porter Ale. And now with a dash of spicy Henderson's Relish and enhanced natural beef stock, this pie promises an exceptionally indulgent experience.

Flower Pots Brewery

Rupert Boissier showed Christian around their microbrewery in the picturesque village of Cheriton in Hampshire, where they've been carefully crafting fine cask ales and beers, in small batches, since 1993.  Their in-depth knowledge of brewing and passion for the craft was palpable.

A team effort

Christian was accompanied on his tour of the brewery by Mud’s Ops Manager, Mike, and Pie Ambassador, Sam, who were both very happy to help with sampling the new ale!

A pedigree beer

Flower Pots’ Cheriton Porter won Gold at the industry awards last year for the South East and Silver nationally for Porters. They describe it as 'a classic Porter, created from a complex grain bill of dark malts and traditional British hops. It has a creamy coffee aroma and roasted chocolate maltiness'.  All of which adds a wonderful depth of flavour to our new and improved Steak and Ale Pie.

Pie-fection™ guaranteed

Christian said, “I'm continually striving for pie-fection™. So, when our local brewer retired, it was the perfect moment to redefine our best-selling Steak & Ale Pie. As I explored partnerships with outstanding brewers, I seized the opportunity to refine every element of our recipe. The result is even greater greatness in the pie you see today. I can't wait for our customers to try it and share their thoughts”.

A winning combination

We’re looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Flower Pots Brewery, who are all about top quality without compromise; small batch production and providing their customers with the very best.  Which all chimes perfectly with Mud’s ethos.
