TWO FACE
Double IPA 8.5%
Brace yourself for this multi-faceted IPA. Its juicy body and fruity profile of peaches and citrus are delivered by Galaxy and Simcoe hops, whilst Columbus hops bring a dank and resinous aroma. Don’t be fooled by its juicy taste, this double IPA bites back.

POOL PARTY
Sour IPA 6.5%
Just like a plunge on a hot summer's day, diving into this lip-smacking sour is one way to cool off. With a citrus tang delivered by El Dorado, Lemondrop and Citra hops, our kettle-soured brew has a bold invigorating juiciness. Ways to beat the heat: sit back, crack a cold one and don't forget your swimsuit.

SIBLING RIVALRY
Southern Hemisphere IPA 6.7%
Settling the biggest rivalry south of the equator, we’ve brought together New Zealand’s bitter Nelson Sauvin and Australia’s juicy Enigma & Galaxy hops for a thump of fruity flavour that’s quickly forgiven. Expect lip-smacking juiciness with a bitter edge, together a mouthful of trouble.

THE WITCH HUNT
New England Pale 4.2%
This ale's past is as murky as it tastes. Tales of poison-peddling 'beer witches' and bubbling cauldrons hide a much darker history of jealous brewers and alewives with an unfortunate choice in headwear. Did you see John Hickling dancing with the devil?

RASPBERRY TART
Raspberry Berliner Weisse 3.3%
Tingle your tastebuds with this tantalisingly tangy tongue twister. We've added deliciously sour raspberry during fermentation to give our Berliner Weisse layers of mouthwatering fruity refreshment and lip-smacking tartness.
