🍺 A LITTLE BIT OF BAVARIA HAS ARRIVED IN IPSWICH! 🇩🇪

And we might just be making UK b**r history…

We’ve been told that The Crafty Fox Café Bar is the FIRST venue in the UK to pour ERDINGER Brauhaus Helles on draught! 🍻

Golden, beautifully smooth and refreshingly crisp, with delicate malt notes and a perfectly balanced finish.

Brewed in Bavaria. Poured in Ipswich.

Something rather special has landed on our taps.

Come and discover it for yourself at The Crafty Fox. 🦊
