GREAT ADAPTATIONS
CARDAMOM & COFFEE STOUT
Sold Out
Great Adaptations is a book, a podcast, and now, a beer! Great Adaptations is a limited edition cardamom and coffee stout. It was created by our friends at Wiper & True, a brewery with a very close connection to The Glacier Trust. The beer was features organic coffee and cardamom grown by farmers supported by TGT in Solukhumbu. It has proved very popular so far, we hope you enjoy it.
Great Adaptations is complex, with a layered smoothness and flavour spectrum that intrigues yet satisfies the palate. It is unfiltered and may contain sediment - pour gently. Suitable for vegans. Store and serve chilled.
The Glacier Trust is not licensed to sell beer, but you can order Great Adaptations directly from Wiper & True who are very kindly donating all profit made to The Glacier Trust. We will send this money directly to the farmers who grew and processed the cardamom and coffee in Deusa, Solukhumbu.
Wiper & True was founded by Michael Wiper, son-in-law of our founder, Robin Garton. Michaels’ wife, Robin’s daughter Francesca, has written about our collaboration. Here’s an excerpt, you can read the full article on the Wiper & True blog.
As someone who cares a lot about both beer and reversing the climate emergency, it is particularly exciting for me that Wiper and True is releasing a beer to mark COP26 – the 26th UN Climate Change Conference being hosted in Glasgow later this month.
Great Adaptations, a Cardamom & Coffee Stout, has been named in homage to one of COP26’s key goals: ‘adaptation - to urgently adapt to protect communities and natural habitats’. The beer has been developed in partnership with The Glacier Trust, a UK-based charity whose mission it is to help remote and vulnerable communities in Nepal do exactly that: adapt to the devastating impacts of climate change.
The work of The Glacier Trust and the story behind it is what makes this beer such a particularly special one for us at Wiper and True, and it is especially fitting that we are launching it at the beginning of our Company’s quest to build a state-of-the-art new brewery and taproom with sustainability at the heart of all it does.
Our partnership with The Glacier Trust is a very poignant one. The charity was founded in 2008 by my father Robin Garton, one of Wiper and True’s fondest supporters…
