🍺 Staff Pick of the Week 🍺

This week, it's Emily's turn, and the choice was an easy one... Ding!

A crisp, easy-drinking lager that's refreshing, and perfect for enjoying in the sunshine. Better still, it's brewed just down the road, in Reading by Double-Barrelled.

It's always great to support local.

Available this week for just £5.20.

And as a Reading fan, there was only ever going to be one choice...

UP THE DING! 💙🤍
