French Craft Beer & Spring Cider Festival

Well Smoko went down an absolute treat. You lovely lot smashed though two Casks, two Kegs and two cases in just a few days. The beer is also sitting at an amazing 4.14 out of 5 on Untappd. Big love to everyone who popped in get a pint or two of Smoko. The next Cask of Smoko will be tapped and on for our April Cask Festival.

Talking of the the April Cask Festival. We will also be launching our two collab brews we did with Three Acres at the April Cask Festival. First is the very limited edition E.S.B that was inspired by Fuller's E.S.B but with a modern hop twist. The second is a little 3.7% Session Pale with a mixture of hops to bring Stone Fruit, Floral & Juicy flavours to a very session forward Cask Ale. The full list will drop in next weeks newsletter.

This week however we have a double bill of goodness for you over the Easter Weekend. First is our yearly Spring Cider Festival where we show off a great range of Ciders from across the UK. Expect 12 Still Ciders, 4 Keg Ciders & over 20 Ciders in Bottles & Cans. While we have the Cider Festival on we also have the first of three Tap Takeovers for April. Fauve Craft Biere from Paris have seven Keg Beers on the Taps, from Hazy IPAs to Sours and Stouts. The full list can be found below.

As Pendulum is the highest rated Session IPA in England on Untappd for 2025 we are doing a limited run of merch to celebrate. There will be some old designs and four new ones for you to look over. The deadline for orders has been moved until April 12th. Link for the order form can be found here.

The Three Hounds & Beckenham RFC Beer Festival is coming along nicely. We have already started picking beers for the Festival in May, with beers from local breweries Southey and Ignition, plus Three Hounds collab beers with Three Acre, Stay Wild and Drop Project. So far the beers cover Stouts, Pales, Bitters and Lagers, with more in the pipeline.
