Brewed to celebrate our 10th Birthday, with our friends at Fieldwork; supported by YCH.
Krush™ T90 gives bold citrus, amplified by a late addition of HyperBoost™, Simcoe® leans true-to-style with that beloved bitter tang & Nelson Sauvin™ brings a hint of pressed gooseberry. A base of lager malt & continuous hot-side hopping has yielded an expressive, modern take on the WCIPA.
Bright, bold & bone dry.
VEGAN.
Artist Notes
Tenoch is said to have guided the Mexica people through years of exile to the place where they would build Tenochtitlan. According to legend, the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli appeared to Tenoch in a dream, revealing the sign that would end their search: an eagle perched on a cactus, clutching a snake. That cactus, it’s said, grew from the heart of Copil—an enemy of the Mexica—cast into a sacred lake.
Our Tenoch sits on a stone throne, surrounded by prickly pear cacti. Above him, the eagle stands watch—wings wide, snake in beak—a powerful nod to the myth, the founding of a great city, and the symbol that still lives on in the Mexican flag.

On tap at One Inn The Wood, Petts Wood on 30th May 2025. Slightly hazy amber with shallow off-white foam and scant lacing. Rich aroma of firm maltiness and citrus peel. Grasses, peels and measured tropical fruits abound in-mouth, and a tangy fruit finish follows. Light to medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.
