B**r announcement for our SATO x Vessel B**r Festival this Saturday 5 September.

I've just been over to Alma Yard to tap the two Left Handed Giant Brewing Co. casks we're pouring at the festival. Dark Mild 3.4% and Changing Tides 4.5% Hoppy Spelt Ale

Also we're excited to announce we've teamed up with Wilful B**r and they will be attending the festival with a couple of West Coast hoppy b**rs.

Our final announcement is two new b**rs from the wonderful The Brewery of St Mars of the Desert with Herbst 4.2% L***r and Kirschewälder a 4.4% smoked Rotbier.

Tickets are still available but moving towards a sell out. so don't wait on it! Buy in person at SATO or Vessel or online via SATO's intstagram link

More info about tokens. A pour is one third a pint, all the kegs, casks and c***r are one or two tokens (Mills vintage bottles are three tokens). We've managed to balance it so that if did you try all the b**rs, the cost is almost identical to how much those b**rs would cost in Vessel.

The tokens are available in multiples of five for £10 (£2 each) or individually as £2.50.

Here's a few more things pouring at our Sato x Vessel B**r Festival

Cornish favourites Ideal Day Family Brewery will also be on tap with a new west coast IPA Precious Time 5.2%

Our first few b**r announcements for Sato x Vessel B**r Festival on Saturday 5 September in Alma Yard.

On keg we have:
Azvex from Liverpool are producing some amazing b**rs. We've chosen Lethal Dose:Vial 001 6.8% Hazy IPA. It's their most hopped IPA they've produced so far with Nelson, Citra and Nectaron.

Holy Goat from Dundee is one of our favourite sour b**r producers in the UK. We will be pouring Honeyfang a 8% golden sour that has 200g/l of Scottish Honeyberries added to it. For stout lovers. We will also be pouring their 5.3% vanilla stout Sabra Cadabra VoI 2, a nod to Black Sabbath in the name, similar to that of our hosts name Sato (an Ozzy song reference).

We're also diving into our cellar for some vintage b**rs on keg. We will be pouring Northern Monk Death single origin Burundi coffee edition 12% imperial stout from 2018. Plus Wild B**r Beyond Modus VI, a 2019 blend of multiple barrel aged b**rs to make a 8% Flemish red style sour.
