Permission To Mashup - 4.6%

Permission To Mashup

Wylam

4.6% abv

A New England pale ale built on shared rhythm and a modern hop swagger. It pours a hazy, vibrant yellow with a malt bill packed full of barley, oats, and wheat for that signature smooth, pillowy mouthfeel. Hot side additions of El Dorado and Nelson Sauvin set the tone, delivering a clean, balanced bitterness with subtle flashes of tropical depth. But it's the dry hop of El Dorado, Nelson and Nectaron that steals the spotlight - layering in lush bursts of tropical fruit, white grape, and citrus pop. Collaboration with Other Half Brewing. Vegan friendly.

Crafted with a heady mix of Azacca, Amarillo, Citra, and Simcoe, this pale ale hits with a burst of juicy mango, citrus peel, and pine, all underscored by a mellow tropical sweetness. The ABV is light on its feet but big on vibe and taste. Vegan friendly.

Double the mango, double the indulgence. This mango milkshake ale is a juicy, creamy fruit bomb—bursting with tropical flavour and smooth sweetness in every sip. Bold, ripe, and unapologetically fruity. Contains lactose.

Steady Rolling Man - 5.2%

Steady Rolling Man

DEYA

5.2% abv

Inspired by the ridiculously tasty hoppy beers we fell for, we got brewing our own versions, over and over again, while listening to the blues greats. The heady concoction of old time blues records and juicy American hops transfixed us from the start and the rolling man was born in these sessions! Incredibly soft and delicate with intense tropical fruit hop aromatics and saturation, this is our vision of the perfect pale ale.

Mango Chilli Margerita - 5% (keg)

Mango Chilli Margerita (keg)

Vault City

5% abv

We've taken the juicy tropical punch of a Mango Margarita and turned up the heat. Sweet mango meets zesty lime with a touch of chilli warmth in this fiery-smooth fusion. It's tart, tangy, and tantalisingly spicy (but not too hot to handle). Vegan friendly.

Triple Fruited Mango - 4.8% (keg)

Triple Fruited Mango (keg)

Vault City

4.8% abv

All the rich, juicy Alphonso mango of our original session sour, multiplied by three. Three times the aroma. Three times the flavour. A tropical adventure that’s fresh, juicy and bold. Paired with our mouth-watering base beer, the result is a lingering tartness with each mouthful that perfectly balances the sweetness of the fruit. Now a lower ABV, previously 6.2%. Vegan friendly.
