And that beautiful, fruity aroma you’re getting comes from a delicate balance of Hersbrucker, Celeia, Perle and Bobek hops. This is the connoisseur's session beer par excellence.

From the Scottish word BRAW (meaning super) this double IPA is not for the faint-hearted. Extra dry-hopped for maximum power this is a piney, citrus-led contradiction of power and elegance.

This gloriously amber coloured ale is made with what is often considered to be the finest hop on the earth, namely the Simcoe Hop. The result is a fantastically fruity finish with distinctly malty undertones.
