Note:- this beer was the original release under the name Evolve, a red ale/amber, circa 2019/20.

A new version, with separate entry, was released in 2024 as a bitter.

Beer is constantly evolving; every brew is informed by the rich tapestry of beer that has come before it. Here is the Mad Squirrel take on one of our indiginous heritage styles. The classic red ale, brewed with floor malted barley, a modern British yeast strain and fruity hops. This is the next step forward for the style. This is Evolve, a contemporary red ale.
