This week’s ales!

Parabellum (Gun) 4.1%
A rich jet black milk stout made with a combination of barley, oats, wheat and roasted chocolate malts. It delivers coffee and chocolate on the nose, that then continues through to the palate where malt and some vanilla sweetness also join in. Bitterness from the hops balances the sweetness from the milk sugar, delivering a clean finish.

Hopspur (Redemption) 4.5%
A welcome return for Tottenham’s Redemption Brewery with this modern twist on a classic amber bitter - American hops pair with a traditional British malt base to give notes of caramel, toffee, honey & hazelnut. Combined with a malty backbone this is an incredibly well balanced amber ale.

Plateau (Burning Sky) 3.4%
Pale gold in colour, with a crisp malt edge and sharp bitterness. Plateau has been hopped at different stages of the brew, with a big mix of US & NZ hops to satisfy the discerning drinker. Full in flavour, zesty, refreshing & low in alcohol, this beer will have you returning to the bar for another. (Vegan)
