5C craft beer is brewed in King’s Cliffe in the county of Northamptonshire, but travel a short distance in any direction and you’ll find yourself in one of the four counties of Rutland, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire or Lincolnshire. And so 5C was named.
5C has quickly become a KCB favourite, undoubtedly because the golden colour, gentle hoppy taste and clean, refreshing finish has wide appeal. At 3.8% ABV it’s a perfect “session” beer.
Hops: Challenger, Cascade, Willamette
