Red Ale

Red ale kits combine an amber-to-red malt profile with styles ranging from balanced Irish red ale to a more hop-forward red IPA. The main choice is whether you prefer malt smoothness or stronger hop flavour and bitterness.

Choosing a red ale kit

• Balanced red ale: Brick Road Red Ale provides a straightforward malt-led option.
• Red IPA: Brick Road Columbus Red IPA is suited to customers wanting more hop character.
• Compare lighter ales: Browse pale ale kits for a paler malt base.
• Compare darker ales: Our dark and brown ale kits provide richer malt-led alternatives.

Follow the kit’s fermentable and hop instructions so the colour, body and bitterness remain balanced. If adapting the recipe, use an appropriate malt enhancer or extract rather than selecting by colour alone.
