The world braced for the Y2K bug, only to wake up unscathed, ready to embrace a new millennium. Napster rewrote the music game, the Sims let us play god, and the Nokia 3310 became an indestructible legend. Bobby Robson led Newcastle United, the PS2 changed gaming forever, and Big Brother had us glued to our screens. Sydney shone with Olympic gold, and icons like the Millennium Bridge and Dome opened. Meanwhile, in the heart of Northumberland, Wylam Brewery was born.

Y2K is a nostalgic throwback to the dawn of the digital age, bursting with Citra, Galaxy, and Mosaic hops. This 6.4% IPA is a juicy explosion of citrus, tropical fruit, and a touch of nostalgia...

Embrace the millennium. No glitches, just enjoy this momentous IPA.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of bay leaf and caramel. Flavour of watermelon, cantaloupe and straw. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Punchy and juicy. This is excellent.
