A double IPA to celebrate our 8th birthday which we have packed full of Citra and Nelson Sauvin with a light dusting of Phantasm on the second dry hop.

A session strength IPA crafted with an abundance of Citra hops, delivering a super juicy, tropical fruit flavour. Expect intense notes of mango, guava, and lychee fruit, all interwoven to perfection. The result is a characteristic haziness, a full-bodied experience, and a pleasantly balanced, light bitterness finish that lingers gently on the palate. Vegan friendly.

A long forgotten beer from our Originals Range that has been given a 2024 update - Amarillo Ekuanot IPA. A curious combination of hops, these incredibly expressive varieties work incredibly well off one another to bring a punch bowl of bright and punchy citrus notes, and sticky marmalade flavours, with a flourish of Simcoe to bring that characteristic stone fruit sweetness. Vegan friendly.

A showstopper of a triple IPA to celebrate our 8th birthday. This beer is bombarded with Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy and Nectaron over a couple of dry hops, at a massive 36 g/litre – our biggest dry hop to date. This is an absolute brute of a beer that tastes of pure tropical fruit juice (all of the tropical fruits), with next to no bitterness on the finish. Meaning that despite its mammoth ABV it’s dangerously easy drinking. Vegan friendly.
