Triple fff Brewery
Hampshire
We are Triple fff Brewery, producing some of the nation's best beer in the heart of Hampshire. Triple fff launched in 1997 by Graham Trott, a woodworker by trade who was a keen home brewer. Graham is the man behind the decorated bestseller Moondance and Supreme Champion Beer of Britain, Alton's Pride.
Why Triple fff, you ask? Triple fff in music stands for fortissimo and means [very very!] loud. You'll see with the names of our beer we are music lovers and like to give a subtle and not so subtle nod to some of our favourites.

What's up? A bit of an odd week. Started slowish then picked up and picked up through the week - the sun definitely helped most. Along with the smells and sights of spring [crocuses (already over), daffys, hawthorn and even magnolia) and the green growth of renewal one of the things I like most is it means we're brewing Lady Eleanor! Not ready for a couple of weeks mind you but one to keep an eye out for. It went crazy fast last year, and supply won't be helped that much by our bottling a bunch of it (yep, they sold fast too) - we won't be short of it, don't get me wrong - but do suggest you get some in a couple of weeks.
Aside from that probably our busiest Thurs in the Taproom in donkey's years last night... Signs of spring? Really hope so!
Speaking of the Taproom - I just checked our sales mix over the past month. [90%+ by value and volume is Triple fff Beer in there]. Historic things we have seen include Sundown wrestling with Moondance for top slot (still the case in growler refills) or Pride occasionally going for a real run... But the tale of the tape here is very different. Jagged Little Pilsner is our second best seller. We sell quite a few kegs to trade but in our trade business it is only a very small proportion.
What I get from this data is that our drinkers are telling you "you should be taking some". Happy to give some bottle samples in advance - just ask. It is good. Unlike Hawkstone made by Tennant's in Glasgow, it is also made locally - here in fact - just sayin...
What's On?
Yeah you can get some Satisfaction... but as predicted Winter Sunset pretty much gone- we have literally 2 reserved for the Tap Room so if desperate then can have one otherwise back in December! Numb will be back by the end of the week too.
What's About?
A short observation this week - about next week.
The historic data from previous years suggests that next week is the best week in 1Q. Here is hoping. Makes sense I guess with MOTHER'S DAY coming up... and Spring springing.
Hope we can bring you some beer! Time to try some JLP [Jagged Little Pilsner]?! (yes!)
Have a great weekend, and enjoy the Rugby!

P.S.
Still not named our new lager. Ideas???
P.P.S.
Not to belittle the human impact hitting the folks war zones who least deserve it - just to enjoy a little gallows humour... very British!

28/01/26: Excess? INXS? Read More
What's Up? Busy week last week - Satisfaction and Sundown both back in stock... Pressed Rat & Warthog nearly ready. Meanwhile Tap Room and On sales were all about Moondance and Alton's Pride...
What's About? I was driving one of the kids over the weekend and we were playing random selection on the tunes... INXS came on - a real blast from the past. It was Suicide Blonde. Kid liked it and wanted to play another INXS song... which was I Need You Tonight. At this point it occurred to me that this might be the band with the most-best beer names in their songs... Those two - Suicide Blonde and I need You Tonight would be terrific names... but then there is Devil Inside, Mystify, New Sensation, Taste It, Afterglow [we had a beer called this once in about 2000], By My Side and Bitter Tears. Ok, I confess I had to google the list of songs - am not exactly a die hard INXS fan - they're OK and all, just not a top 20 band for me. Anyway Mick Hutchence, never knew you were a beer lover. Nice work. Any bands you can think of with more great names for beers as the name of their songs?
Have a great week ahead,
fff
