by French & Jupps
Born from a partnership between French & Jupps, the roasted malt specialists, and Vocation Brewery, Hebden Bridge who brew bold beers which set benchmarks rather than follow trends.
Excellence in Every Grain
For trade partners, publicans, and bottle shop owners, Rooted Riches represents a celebration of excellence and premium raw materials.
At French & Jupps, we’ve spent centuries perfecting our craft, producing 14 distinct crystal and ‘patent’ roasted malts. For this beer, Vocation’s brewing team utilised Extra Dark Crystal and Chocolate Malt to build the base for an unapologetically robust Stout.
Because modern consumers are increasingly seeking beers with authentic provenance and rich storytelling, Rooted Riches delivers a premium, high ABV offering, showcasing exactly what happens when premium British malting ingredients meet world class independent brewing.
The Tasting Notes | Classic Roots, With A Modern Twist
While the base of the beer is rooted in British roasted malt, the profile is modern, decadent, and complex.
• The Mouthfeel: Lusciously smooth, thick, and velvety.
• The Palate: Enveloped in layers of rich, roasted sweetness. The Extra Dark Crystal provides a perfect balance of soft, jammy plum and dried fruit flavours, complemented by notes of smoky espresso coffee and chocolate from French & Jupps Chocolate Malt.
• The Hops: Vocation has selected traditional Bramling Cross hops to provide a gentle lift of blackcurrant, subtle spice, and a fleeting hint of liquorice on the finish.
Join the Nationwide Celebration on June 15th
Supported by the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA), the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA), and the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), Beer Day Britain is a national annual event acknowledging the science, art, and craft to which brewers and ingredient suppliers have dedicated themselves for generations. Rooted Riches honours this legacy by setting a benchmark in British stout, arriving just in time for the national celebration.
