PALS Beverages, a new Guyanese-owned company, recently launched a new and unique crafted beer, called the “Cold One”. It is a combination of ale and beer, a blend that is definitely new to Guyana.
The founders of PALS Beverages
Driven by the love of “a cold one”, 3 local businessmen ventured into developing a beer product that has everything beer lovers crave — refreshing, smooth on the palate, a delicious hoppy tang with an eye-catching clear amber colour. As a medium-bodied beer, the alcoholic composition is just right for anyone.
In 2018, with little brewing knowledge, but fuelled by passion and zeal, Pierre, Alan and Stuart started PALS, an acronym of their names. After many experiments, testings and tastings, their first signature beer “Cold One” was born. These now very fine craftsmen will, in the future, be venturing into different types/flavours of beer.
“Our reason for doing this is simple. Because we wanted a different beer,” Alan said.
Cold One is exclusive since it is brewed from the very best grains, unlike rice used in most beers. Rich grains used in the process are Brewers, Munich and Caramel Malts. Added to the blend is yeast which is the defining ingredient in craft beer, and the type of yeast used in the brewing process has a huge influence on the style of beer produced. PALS uses a fresh hop and a special yeast which is imported all the way from Northern Europe.
The processing is done in a Micro-brewery located in Georgetown which houses state-of-the-art equipment and extreme care is taken in the different stages of the brewing process. PALS aims to only use high-quality and unique ingredients to achieve refined, unique flavours when brewing.
“Cold One” is now available nationwide.
