6.1% Golden Ale
Our interpretation of the excellent Ukrainian Golden ale that is brewed by Varvar. We've brought the softness and balance from our usual pale ales and used a new yeast to us, which leaves behind a larger amount of residual sugar. Our Ukrainian Golden ale has a gentle bitterness that cuts through this residual sugar making it a very drinkable and enjoyable beer, where you'll be going back for another! We will be supporting the Ukrainian appeal with a large portion of the profits going toward a chosen charity. Collaboration with Varvar Brewery in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Titanic
4.9% Fruited Porter
Our infamous, strong, dark porter that has re-defined the sector. A well-rounded speciality porter with a sweet, fruity nose. Notes of plum and other stone fruits are present throughout, balanced against a delicate blend of classic hops. The richness of such a rotund beer is brought to an even keel by the late addition of Goldings hops and natural plum flavouring.
