🍻 NEW SEASONALS HAVE ARRIVED – PREPARE YOURSELF! 🍻

✨ HYPERBOLE – 4.4% Hoppy Gold ✨

They say never exaggerate… but we’re happy to make an exception here! 🤩 This is quite possibly the single greatest beer to ever grace the known universe. The Eighth Wonder of the World. Liquid sunshine in a glass. So hoppy it’ll make your socks levitate. So golden it puts the sun to shame. 🤩

Okay, we might be stretching the truth slightly — but honestly? It’s genuinely delicious, so we think the name is fully justified! Bold, bright, gloriously hoppy, and dangerously drinkable. What more could you want?

🏛️ ROMANI ITE DOMUM – 4.3% Gold 🏛️

“Romans, go home!” 🎬 — Life of Brian fans, you know the drill! We’re not saying the Romans didn’t build some lovely roads… but they definitely didn’t brew this well. A smooth, satisfying gold — no centurions required, just great flavour and a very sensible ABV. All the quality, none of the empire-building. 😉

📍 Where to get them:
Both beauties are popping up in all good local pubs right now 🍺
Or grab them direct from the brewery — take some home and keep the goodness on tap!

Grab a pint (or two) before they vanish — cheers! 🥂
