Balfour IPA (12)

Nutty • Biscuity • Light-bodied

England’s only IPA blended by winemakers. Crafted by our award-winning father-and-son team, Owen and Fergus Elias, Balfour IPA brings a winemaker’s precision to the art of brewing. Made using three Kentish hop varieties, Bramling Cross, East Kent Goldings, and Boadicea, this refined IPA celebrates local provenance and flavour.

Bright and complex, it offers a nose of honey, thyme, and citrus peel, while the palate reveals biscuity malt, soft bitterness, and a whisper of white wine–like aromatics from the Boadicea hop. Gluten free and vegan friendly, this is a beer designed for those who appreciate craft, balance, and a touch of the unexpected.

This is an IPA for wine drinkers; elegant, aromatic and perfectly balanced. The Boadicea hop gives it that beautiful, vinous lift which ties it back to who we are at Balfour. Fergus Elias Head Winemaker

The Story

At Balfour, our winemakers have always sought to push boundaries. With Balfour IPA, that philosophy finds expression in the world of beer. Fermented with the same care as our wines and matured for flavour harmony, it combines the depth of English brewing heritage with the finesse of modern winemaking.

The inclusion of Boadicea, a hop prized for its delicate floral and white wine characteristics, gives the IPA a uniquely vinous edge — a nod to our roots and a statement of innovation. The result is an IPA that’s distinctly English yet quietly cosmopolitan, offering freshness, balance, and complexity in every sip.
