Summer’s here/brand new beer!

Our homage to the most satisfying sunshine pint on the planet - The German Weiss Beer 🍺

Lots a wheat in the mash results in an especially satisfying brew with a bready, almost doughy backbone. Fermented out with an authentic Hefeweizen Yeast, rewarding you with that classic Banana/Bubblegum characteristic ready for devouring on a wooden bench with a pretzel in hand 🥨

Available on our webshop and pouring exclusively in Vessel Bars from Pilot tonight!

It’s the Fungasm Game Show!

Ltd Edition 🥊 Smash or Pass 🙅‍♀️ ‘Flyer Can’

This year we were approached by local LEGENDS, to work alongside them on their 2026 Fringe show marketing campaign and help them achieve their target of a ‘Flyer-less campaign’.
The ethos being..

Save waste
Create value
Support local

What is the Fungasm Game Show??

“Fungasm: Save or Smash” is an absurd, interactive comedy and pottery-themed game show where audience members decide the fate of delicate porcelain items—either preserving them as trophies or smashing them with a hammer.

The fast-paced quiz, described as a mashup of Taskmaster, Shooting Stars & Antique Roadshow.
