By Miranda Wood - 19 Jan New Year – New Beer Sylva
Happy 2018! Hope you all had a fantastic break. We’re excited for the year ahead, with some amazing tasty beers in the pipeline to share with you including seasonal special, Sylva.
Exclusively hopped with new hop, Idaho 7, this golden pale ale packs a fruity punch of summer berries and sweet fruits. Low on bitterness, it’s light and delicate and deliciously moreish.
In case you’re wondering, in 1919, Sylva Boyden, was just 17 years old when she became the first woman in England to skydive. She was in Richmond Park watching the Royal Flying Corps test a new parachute. Sylva was intrigued. She lied about her name and age and managed to sneak through the system and have a go herself. ‘The famous English Airgirl’ as she became known successfully completed 3 jumps that first day. Sylva was hooked. She travelled throughout Europe living the dream and completed over 150 parachute jumps in her lifetime. We thought this was a story worth sharing and a life worth celebrating. Thanks to the Hearsum Collection for bringing Sylva to our attention.
Look out for it on cask too, it’s doing the rounds at our usual haunts.
Also please save these dates – 2nd February 2018 we’re at The Boaters for a tap takeover and 3rd February 2018 we’re back at Ham Parade Market selling our bottles and gift packs between 10am – 2pm.
Open Day dates will follow shortly.
Hope to see you soon.
