The name comes from one of our favourite songs from the late legend that is Bill Withers, Grandma’s Hands – as we imagined our grandmas creating the crumble in this beer!
Best of all, there’s no lactose in this, so it’s suitable for vegans!

Can ordered from Indiebeer, Holloway. Aroma has blackcurrant and apple plus a vanilla custard sweetness. Hazy... waxy purple. Thin translucent white head soon recedes. Sour hit. An acidic blackcurrant and cooking apple. Low key vanilla or is that my imagination? But overall: tart. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Nice stuff. Although when I get a crumble I want 99% crumble and 1% fruit (got one at my local farmshop once that must have gone wrong and did lack fruit, this did not impress the Mrs but was spot on for me).
