🍺 TWO BEERS. ONE BIG NIGHT AT THE BELL. 🍺
Tonight we’ve got something VERY special happening…
First up, we’re launching HOOKY LOCK STEADY — and there’s FREE BEER FROM 6PM! 🍻
At just 2.5%, Lock Steady is Hook Norton’s light, zesty and refreshing pale ale — lower in strength but absolutely not short on flavour. And it’s an award winner too. 👏
But that’s not all…
❤️ THE BIG O IS COMING BACK.
If you came to Hops in the Shire, you might remember this one — because Big O was the FIRST beer of the entire festival to SELL OUT.
And this beer means rather a lot to us.
Big O is Rhys’s beer, created in memory of his dad, who would have celebrated his 80th birthday this year. 🍺❤️
So seeing you lot absolutely demolish the first batch at the festival was pretty special.
And now… IT’S BACK.
🍺 Lock Steady launch
🍺 FREE BEER from 6pm
🍺 The return of festival favourite BIG O
❤️ And a little story behind a very special pint
TONIGHT AT THE BELL INN, ADDERBURY.
Come down, raise a glass and help us give Big O the welcome back it deserves.
Because if the beer festival taught us anything…
when Big O appears, you probably shouldn’t hang around. 😂🍺
