Brewed in collaboration with Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, to celebrate the gardens’ 250th anniversary. We have included a subtle addition of Drimys Lanceolata, a plant grown at the gardens, to give this session ale an unusual twist. Drimys also known as mountain pepper brings a refreshing edge to the beer and a gentle warmth in the aftertaste.
