New on tap!
The newest addition to our guest tap is @forkandbrewer
Stone fruit lager 🍑🥭
This is the first batch they have made using Hallertau hops and we are the first bar in the world to have it tapped (even before the brewery itself)
Definitely worth coming in to try this sweet fruity light and very seasonable lager
