It’s a Bad Kitty brew day!

If you haven’t heard, Bad Kitty is our 5.5% Vanilla Porter; a decadent and moreish chocolate-vanilla dream. Named after the antics of one of the original brewhouse cats, Bad Kitty has been with us for an incredible 15 years. Here’s to many more!🍻

All our beers are Vegan and Certified Gluten-Free.
