We’ve just re-released this one, stacked with Cascade and then dry hopped with one of our favourites, Vic Secret, this is zingy, grapefruity, tropical, summer pale. Available in 440ml cans.

All of our beers are named after places or stories in our local park, the national nature reserve, in SW London, Richmond Park. We’re not the only ones who love it. Ian Dury of the Blockheads has a bench dedicated to him in Poet’s Corner, inscribed with a title from one of his biggest tracks, “Reasons to be Cheerful.” Apparently, he loved to bring his children here. It used to be known as the ‘talking bench’ as you could sit admiring the view, while listening to some of their best tunes, via a solar powered MP3 player. After a few years general wear and tear, it was replaced with a QR code on metal plates which can be scanned with a smartphone and you can listen again, to some of their best recordings, including: Hit Me with your Rhythm Stick, What a Waste and of course, Reasons to be Cheerful.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 3rd July 2026. Slightly hazy coppery amber with lasting shallow off-white foam and full lacing. Rich nutty malts and citrus peel in aroma. Tangy fruits, zesty peels and gingery spices in-mouth. A lush finish of spices and citrus zests, rounded by a resilient malt line. Full bodied with a zingy mouthfeel. Superb.
