Lockdown Blog #5: Hops
Hops.
We’ve become a bit obsessed with the hops we’re growing in pots outside the office windows, just nicknamed “Spud and Renton” by one of our customers.

Help Keith name our new summer beer
Help Keith name our new summer beer and win one of four, 5-litre, mini casks!

Lockdown Blog #2 - Dreaming of draught beer

We recently launched our long-awaited ‘barrels of joy’; dinky 5 litre mini casks (8/9 pints) filled with our award-winning Lawless Village IPA or Session Ale, fresh from the brewhouse here in Abbeyhill, Edinburgh.
