Question: What do you get when you pair an award winning independent brewery, Big Smoke Brew Co. with two big hearted, down-to-earth, national treasure cooks?

Answer: A light, easy drinking 4.2% session IPA thats available for a limited time only!

With a mutual passion for great food and an enthusiasm for life and beer, the partnership is a meeting of minds between us at Big Smoke Brew Co. And the Hairy Bikers; producing the perfect culinary compliment of a well-rounded, accessible beer to pair with Si and Dave’s hearty, home cooking

The result is a lightly hopped Session IPA brewed with Amarillo and Chinook hops, with a light biscuit undertone, an aromatic hop character, and a lingering, lightly bitter finish.

Hops - Amarillo, Chinook

Can from Garsons Farm Shop, West End. Aroma has soft fruit and intrusionalys plus a drop of glue. Clear light gold. Thin bubbly white head. Initial sugar edged citrus sourness quickly followed by grass, boiled veg and cardboard. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. I used to like the Hairy Bikers (fact of the day: before it became a Big Smoke pub, their Weybridge pub's claim to fame was the Hairy Bikers filming there).

Pale gold with a frothy white head and a slightly citrusy light malt aroma. More of the same in the flavour, with a herbal element to it. It's quaffable without offering a great deal beyond light biscuit malt and a touch of citrus hop
