EYNSHAM
English-style Dark Mild // 3.5% ABV
Featured Ingredients: Golden Promise & Caramel Malts, East Kent Goldings Hops, House Ale Yeast
Tasting Notes: A classic style from the UK that’s readily suited to drink in quantity. We get notes of caramel & chocolate along with some fruity esters. The finish is dry with a moderate bitterness that invites another taste. This beer is named after the village in Oxfordshire, UK where our co-founder Dave had his first taste of traditional cask ale back in 2003.

SUP MAN
Session IPA // 4.35% ABV

Tasting Notes: Sup Man is Super Mantis for session drinking, clocking in at exactly half the ABV of its big sister but with similar intense notes of tropical fruit, peach, and dankness from the Citra-Galaxy dry hop. A lighter, paler malt base allows the hops to shine while making this beer incredibly easy-drinking.
