So popular, we've made it a House Beer! First brewed in Spring 2015, Hoperation is a blend of English and American hops brought together to create a powerful hop flavour in this Pale Ale with oats and wheat in the grist to provide a smooth rounded finish.

500ml bottle (4.2% ABV): BB 10th January 2025, drank at home on 16th October 2024. Clean old golden body, white crown. Hop forward and getting more bitter with each sip, in fact it was almost a harsh hop finish. Liked the first sip's more than the later ones.
