Cask stout, mild, NZ Pale and a best. Phenomenal drinking at Brolly this weekend

Truck Life was first brewed during lockdown. I realised 1 x 3.5pt growler of 4.5% cask beer wasn't enough to do the job for some folks, so I pressed the gas pedal and this beer was born. This version has Dolcita, Krush and El Dorado hops from the US of crazy A. It's truckin' hazy fantazy.

Just put our Mild on too and it's not even May yet! 😅

We've always been a cask brewery since we opened in 2017. Now we're being told cask is cool and styles like Best Bitter are too. Who knew?!

It's great news to be fair.

Ps. we've got a NZ Pale in this pic but our Sussex Best is what started this bizarre masochistic journey into brewing.

how bad was the beer? She was iconic last year!

Oh blimey!! Not sure how well she'll be tasting at this stage in life 😂

cask is king! 😍

Cujo

Heading to the very same festival next week! Celebrating 30 years of VBA. Still no Heady Topper either.

Bet you're still drinking a pint when you could have 2 beautiful halves? Variety is the spice of life. The equiv of 2 pints of beer for half the claries, cost and alcohol content. Winning 😍

K had the coolest bottle 😎

A 15 year old me agrees Merrydown was delicious! Loved Woodpecker too.

Manchester Craft Brew Festival 2025 The UK's touring craft beer festival stops off in Manchester at Victoria Warehouse on Saturday 7th June 2025.

We're not in with the cool kids of craft so we were very honored to be invited to pour at this beer festival in Manchester. They've still got a few tickets too.

We're taking our current favs with us: Saison, New England Pale, DIPA and a smoked Dubbel.

Far too many times 😁

Drinking it at The French House in Soho always gets me in a pickle. 😋

A lovely little English Pale with fresh Goldings. Perfect.

Perfect for a wet weekend of camping.

We're pouring a gorgeous little saison in Manchester on the 7th June at Craft Brew Festival, Victoria Warehouse. The first beer festival we've poured at outside of Sussex! 8 years hoping but we finally got invited somewhere 😍

Two of my personal favs. There's a little sprinkle of Sabro in the Dark Mild. 😋

Cask beer in the sunshine!
A smoked Mild and a hazy IPA that we've been serving in cask for the past 7 years. Pouring now 😋

Sambrooks are having a Mild festival currently. Think there were 6 or 7 available including one of ours. Such a lovely beer style, works in all weather! 🍻

We've been given a late call-up for Sambrooks' Mild May Festival to pour with some of our beeroes. We highly recommend you pop along to sample some delightful Milds. Ours is smoked and (very!) carefully hopped with Sabro.

It's perfectly mild weather.
