CHIEF JESTER
In support of Rennie Grove Hospice (3.6%)

‘Chief Jester’ is the latest addition to our core beer range. It has been created using an exciting new strain of hop called ‘Jester’ which has an fragrant, punchy aroma of new world proportions, with flavour notes of grapefruit and tropical fruits. Combined with WGV bittering hops and carefully selected grains, we have created an easy drinking 3.6% pale session ale that is tasty, refreshing and light in colour.

The beer has been brewed in memory of a friend Joe ‘Chief’ Paul who worked tirelessly for local charities. Farr Brew will be donating 10% of all profits made from sales of ‘Chief Jester’ to the Rennie Grove Hospice. Joe was an amazing person and a true lover of helping people and good beer. We’re sure he would be pleased with what we have created.

Bottle at home from the brewery. An inoffensive English style pale ale, with strong bitter hops and quite an astringent mouthfeel. It was well chilled and perfect as the first beer of the evening. Nothing special mind you, but perfectly drinkable.
