What's better than one limited release? TWO! ✌🍻

We've got two amazing new beers on tap today, both equally worthy of your pint glass this week:

🍺HAZY MAZE • 5.1%

Lose yourself in a maze of haze. This hazy pale ale showcases the cutting edge of New Zealand hop expression, combining juicy Nectaron, experimental NZH-109 and revolutionary Motueka Hop Flakes. Every turn through the maze reveals new dimensions of vibrant stonefruit, citrus zest and tropical aromatics, finishing smooth, refreshing and irresistibly drinkable.

🍺 WICKED AS! WCIPA • 6.7%
Conjured up for this year's West Coast IPA Challenge, Wicked As! WCIPA brews up a whirlwind of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit character. Bright grapefruit zest and sticky resin lead the way, layered over a clean malt backbone that lets the hops work their magic. A firm West Coast bitterness brings balance before finishing crisp and refreshing, while a lingering juiciness ensures the spell lasts long after the last sip.

Both only available for a limited time so come pair it with today's chicken! 😉

Can't decide between fish & chips and a burger? Have both! 🐟
Today's burger special is the best of both worlds: fresh battered gurnard with wasabi aioli, feta, rocket, pickles, and chutney. Served with our world-class handcut chips and a lovely beer to top it off with. 👌 Get in!
