🍻 NEW POUR ALERT: Hop Air Baboon 🍻

Say hello to Hop Air Baboon – a 4.2% DDH pale that absolutely packs a punch 💥
Loaded up with Vic Secret & Comet hops, this beauty brings:

🍍 Juicy pineapple vibes
🍊 Zesty orange peel
🍊 Big grapefruit hit
🌿 Finished off with a dank, resinous hop bomb

Light, punchy, and dangerously easy drinking… this one won’t hang around for long 👀

Get yourself down and grab a pint before it’s gone! 🍺🔥
Want me to tailor it to a specific pub or event as well?

🐣🍻 EASTER COMP WINNER… AND WHAT A SHOW OFF 😏 🍻🐣

Big shoutout to our very own Dave who didn’t just complete one stamp card over Easter… oh no… he went full send and smashed TWO 🤯👏

We’re not saying he lived off Vanilla Guerilla all weekend… but we’re also not not saying that either 😜🍦🍺

Fair play Dave – grafted harder than most and drank even better 💪🍻

As a result, he’s bagged himself a cracking day out at the Nottingham Independents Beer Festival at Nottingham Castle on 24th–25th April 🎉🏰

Enjoy it mate – you’ve earned every pint! 🍺🔥

Everyone else… you’ve got a reputation to fix next time 👀🤣
