Hurst 700 is a classic, hoppy, blonde ale – the perfect session beer, boasting light floral, citrus, and herbal notes, and a satisfying mouthfeel. A definite thirst-quencher on a hot summer’s day!

This is the ale that relaunched the brewery back in 2012. It was initially brewed to mark the 700th anniversary of Edward II granting a charter for the village’s annual St Lawrence Fair, one of the longest established village fairs in the country but became so popular it soon became a mainstay in the Hurst range.
