Two new 'uns in The Fridges of Joy -

Hacker-Pschorr
Oktoberfest Bier 5.8%
Vegan 🌱

'Oktoberfest beer is very special. Only 6 Munich breweries are allowed to serve beer at Oktoberfest - and Hacker-Pschorr is one of them. Every year, the brewmasters from the 6 traditional Munich breweries strive to create an exceptional beer for Oktoberfest visitors.

The Oktoberfest beer has always been considered an exceptional brew. The balanced flavour with malt aroma and tangy, bitter notes give it a distinctive taste.'

Verdant Brewing Co - Brewery & Taproom
My favourite name & art for ages
With The Benefit Of Hind Legs 6.5%
Vegan 🌱

Stands tall, as a memorable IPA. Dank, candied citrus-fruit hazy IPA in the quintessential Verdant style.

All bottles & cans and cask & keg available to take, take, take, take, take-take, t-t-take, take away - bring your own growler 🐻

Cheers, Smoggies 🍻

Pump 2
Red Willow Brewery
Columbus The Dank 4.7%
Faithless 241

Redwillow say 'A punchy pale ale showcasing Columbus in all its gloriously dank form.

Expect resinous pine, sticky citrus and a touch of earthy spice, backed by a clean malt base and assertive bitterness.

Bold, aromatic and unapologetically dank.'

Cheers, Smoggies 🍻
