It's 100 years almost to the day since the Socialist revolution in Russia, so to celebrate this (being the whining lefties we are) we cleared the brewing schedule to create a brand new beer to remember the event, "Red OCtober"
You might have supposed we'd brew an Imperial Russian Stout. But no, I don't like them and anyhow they're impossible to sell in cask. OK then, how about a red ale? erm... sorry, but we already have one on the sales list.... well, what about a Kvass? yeah right, try persuading people that's worth drinking especially from a handpull!
As you can see, we didn't really think this through.... so, despite the shambolic nature of the decision to brew the beer, brew it we did! It'll be a 5% or so extra pale with shedloads of luscious Citra, Summit and Columbus hops, so expect a fruity, hoppy bolshy beast!
