28 IBUSacred Fire Golden Ale

Flagship

This is our gateway to craft beer. It has a beautiful hue and a long, smooth finish with just a hint of caramel and passion fruit. A light, crisp and refreshing ale with a playful, Asian twist which is low enough in alcohol to be enjoyed throughout those hot, sunny days and well into the evening.

38 IBUPitiless Folly Pale Ale

Flagship

Our take on the classic British Ale. Beautifully hoppy on the back of both Pale and Crystal malts with a beautiful copper hue and a sweet long finish. Using US Citra hops as the main hop, it features tastes of grapefruit, lime, passion fruit, and lychee. You may even be able to pick out hints of melon and gooseberry. A clean and crisp Pale Ale with a lot of late edition hops and a flavor that will dance on your tongue.

Darkest ruby to black in colour. Deep roasty coffee-like aroma dominates with a hint of chocolate in the background. Roast and pleasant bitterness also dominates the flavour and contrasts the creamy mouthfeel. Easy drinking and moreish despite the intensity of flavour. Classic pairing – freshly shucked oysters. Also pairs with roast meats and dark desserts.

80 IBU*Eloquent Phantom
Imperial Stout

Seasonal

Four hops, three malts, two sugars, two spirits, one spice, one wood; it goes without saying that this is a complex beer. Very rich and full-bodied, lifted by the judicious use of American spirits and Madagascan spice. Oak conditioning adds another layer of complexity. A beer to sip and enjoy. Pair with roast meats, rich desserts, or dark chocolate.

Penny Whistle

Avenging Fire
Double IPA

Merciless Logic
Double IPA

8.2% ABV - 87 IBU

Seasonal

Sitting somewhere between an American IPA and an Imperial IPA, this IPA has a pale but complex malt character to back up the generous use of American hops. Our recipe uses plenty of Citra in the kettle and repeated dry hop additions of both Amarillo and Citra. This creates a huge flavour and aroma of peach, citrus, and tropical fruit with a little resiny chewiness.
Dead Wood
American Porter

6.0% ABV - 38 IBU

Seasonal

Dark and opaque. Chocolate on the nose. Medium bodied. Flavours of toasted caramel and soft fruit. Finishes dry. A smooth drinking flavoursome Porter in the American style.
