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.

34 IBUExcited Magpie Irish Stout

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.

Old Doctor
ESB

5.4% ABV - 41 IBU

Seasonal

Our take on an “Extra Special Bitter” using British Marris Otter malt. Dark amber in colour. Distinct aroma of citrus, floral, spice and a little honey. Medium bodied. Caramel and warm bread in the mouth gives way to fruity, earthy spice. Finishes with a balanced bitterness. Pairs with Bangers and Mash.
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.
Moral Shock
New England Pilsner

5.0% ABV - 43 IBU

Seasonal

Hazy blonde in colour. Bright citrus aroma. Light bodied. Refreshing juicy lemon and gooseberry notes. Crisp finish. Our mash-up of a New England IPA and an un-filtered, un-pasteurised Czech Pilsner, both hugely popular in their native lands.
