Say hello to Mr. Guava Lava – our latest small-batch brew and a tropical twist on a classic lager.
Crisp, refreshing and bursting with juicy guava aromas, it’s our take on the growing wave of fruity lagers. Brewed with pilsner malt and Caragold for a golden glow and delicate honey notes, with a touch of lactose adding a subtle natural sweetness, it’s gluten-free, an easy-drinking 4% ABV, and made for long, leisurely sessions.
As for the name? That’s a nod to Shaggy’s Boombastic. The artwork is just as playful too, imagine Johnny Bravo meets Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I., complete with a glorious moustache and plenty of tropical swagger.
Pop in while it’s pouring and give Mr. Guava Lava the warm welcome he deserves.
Currently causing a stir at the bar, meet Black Lagoon Nitro Stout (4.2%) – a dark, velvety brew with plenty of character and just the right amount of drama.
Named after the cult old-school sci-fi comic creature, Black Lagoon is brewed for those who like their dark beers rich, smooth and a little mysterious.
Crafted in our in-house Exeter microbrewery, this indulgent nitro stout pours with a beautifully creamy head and layers of flavour that keep you coming back for more. Expect aromas of brandy snap baskets, gooey chocolate brownie and toasted vanilla, followed by notes of rich chocolate and roasted coffee, all wrapped up in a super smooth, silky finish.
Brewed using pale ale malt and crystal malts, Black Lagoon strikes the perfect balance between richness and drinkability – indulgent, but dangerously easy-drinking at just 4.2%.
And because we love a theme, we’ve recently added a mural of the lovable sci-fi character to our rooftop terrace – the perfect backdrop while enjoying a pint (or two). Pop in, grab a glass and take a look for yourself.
Like all good things lurking beneath the surface, Black Lagoon won’t be around forever – so catch it while it’s pouring.
Available now at the bar. Dare to dive in?
