All British blonde beer

All British ingredients including Boadicea hops have created a clean and crisp blonde beer with fruit in the nose and taste.

For Pagan Queen we asked Wylie to depict Iceni Queen Boadicea; war ravaged and uncompromising, during the short lived “spring” of her victory over three Roman cities, now known as Colchester, London and St Albans – Great job Wylie!

Originally a seasonal spring beer, Pagan Queen has become a best seller and is now a permanent firebrick brew.
