Description
Top Rope Brewing are a Liverpool based microbrewery & taproom who love putting hops in a headlock. With a focus on bold, modern styles with a wrestling twist, we brew a little something to keep everyone happy from Ice Cream Pale Ales to big Imperial Stouts, all whilst keeping things Vegan Friendly.

In mid 2024 the brewery became a partner of Legend Whisky which allowed the brewery to avoid ceasing its activities and to continue brewing.

Can from Hoptimism. Appearance - hazy amber, white head, not as carbonated as would expect. There's a rogue hop sitting at the bottom. Nose - orange and overripe melon. Taste - more melon, resin too this time, orange zest follows that in. Palate - light to medium bodied. Tangy middle. Fairly balanced, tangy finish. Overall - a bit flat but a solid citizen all the same.
