*Don’t Mug Yourself

StyleEnglish Strong BitterABV5.4

A 15th hour submission from Ballzy:
“Geezers need excitement?” – Enter the Winter Pale Ale. Don’t let the style deter you. The aim with this brew was to create a balanced English inspired pale ale. All EKG hops and Marris Otter malt to celebrate the beer I love to drink this time of year. A tip of the hat to two of my loves. My close mates – who started with me on this beer journey all those years ago. And one of the greatest hip hop infused garage bands from the late 90’s. I danced all night! Thanks to Rocky Ridge for letting Ross and I revel in all things English pale.
It’s bye for now – but I’ll be seeing you around. “Hold it down!”

Description

Say ‘ello to *Don’t Mug Yourself – our latest staff beer, by Ballzy.

Just for Ballzy, we’ve done a ballz up ourselves and a tiny typo found its way onto the label. Let’s blame it on the ever-mischievous canning line, or maybe even Karl!

This brew holds a special spot in our hearts, marking Ballzy’s final Rocky Ridge chapter. If you’ve met Ballzy, you know he’s been the packing team’s guiding star, a dance-floor connoisseur who lives for a good boogie. And let’s not forget, he recently named our canning line ‘Leeloo’, an ode to the iconic 5th Element – a fitting tribute.

But let’s dive into this new brew. A classic English Bitter, tailor-made for cooler days. Imagine a pour that reveals a clear, deep amber elixir crowned by a velvety beige head. A dance of rich caramel malts with hints of stewed fruits pairs with zesty hops and a cheeky citrus twist.

The first sip? It’s a harmony of flavours. Caramel malt shines with a dash of bitterness that adds a spicy twist. Just as you think it’s over, a clean, crisp finish gives a playful nod, urging that ‘one-more-sip’.

This is British tradition with an audacious flair, a tribute to Ballzy’s fearless leadership and joyous spirit. So when it’s chilly, grab your mug and pour with purpose. To you, Ballzy!
