Our take on the traditional English bitter. Smooth with well-balanced malt flavours and hops. Named in honour of wee McAsh, the miniature daschund that stars in local artists Amanda Sunderland’s children’s books. She’s also responsible for the brewery logo and beer badges. Malts – pale, cara, crystal, roast barley, wheat and torrified wheat. Hops – East Kent goldings and saaz.
