This English IPA ale was inspired by the steam locomotives Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed for the Great Western Railway. Named Thunderer and Hurricane, these engines proved to be less than reliable and had to be replaced soon after coming into service.

Derail Ale is brewed with 90% Maris Otter and Crystal malts with some wheat added. Progress, Chinook and Cascade hops are used with a new strain of yeast, BRY-97 American West Coast Yeast supplied by supplied by Lallemand Brewing. Philip Downes, Box Steam’s Master Brewer, says the “aroma of this new yeast is slightly estery, almost neutral and does not display malodours when properly handled. BRY-97 is a flocculent strain and so slightly reduces hop bitter levels.”
