Hand pulled half pint in the Pheasant on 28th July 2026. Clean and clear light golden body, white crust on top. Didn't take to this at all, too much citrus/dry bitterness for me. Drank along side Love Rat (Rat Brewery), which was much more to my taste.

Pendle Beer Festival 2026 Beer#12. Light golden with minimal haziness. Fruit and hoppy in about equal measure, and easy enough sipping.

Despite the beer name Sir Billy Boston remains the only Rugby League Knight. It will happen though. This session ale is golden-blonde, hoppy in the main with a sweetness in aroma, and some in aftertaste. Easy-drinking.

An apt rugby themed ale given it's the Super League Grand Final just down the road tomorrow. Dark brown in colour with plenty of caramel in aroma, a little more watery in taste but still dominant.
