She’s promised us a barrel of the new “120” - a tribute to the late Beth Slevin.  We’re also looking further afield for other Brewsters, great beers, and maybe one or two silly beers inspired by a love of all things female.

Belgian | Lindemans |Pecheresse £3.75 2.5% ABV | 375ml

| Strawberry £2.95 4.0% ABV | 330ml
