A light amber version of the traditional German 'Bock' beer with a smooth malt profile and crisp dry finish.
Fight Like Hell - 8%
Fight Like Hell
Queer
8% abv
Fight Like Hell is based on the recipe for Existence As A Radical Act, our core pale. To us, Existence represents that in a hostile society, simply existing as a trans person is a radical act of defiance. In the face of such sustained transphobia throughout the world—and here in the UK—we must all fight like hell for all trans people, in particular trans people of colour. A proportion of profits from this beer will be split between trans-focussed and -led charities.

Siren

Castilian lemon juice and zest combine with a trio of lemony new world hops in this dessert inspired IPA. Our citrus symphony layers upon a beautiful biscuity base, with drizzles of indulgent honey sweetness and a sprinkling of sea salt. The beer has a refreshing sourness and drinks with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.
