Nettle Ale.
Back when Sting was in the Police and Roxanne was released, hops still hadn't been invented.
It was in those medieval times that the other band members , who were also monks, had to find alternatives to bitter their ales. One of the many herbs and spices experimented with were nettles and they found them to be very good! We have taken these ancient techniques and combined them with some great aroma hops to make a unique but delicious brew.*
*Please note that not all the above may be true Wild Sting is a ruby beer with rich malt tones. Bittered with stinging nettles and leaving the hops to add aroma, this is a unique but very tasty ale
