Name Origin
A chance moment – the foreman building the brewery asked if we made ‘beastie beer’. This old-fashioned brew was so yeasty, the freshly brewed ale was alive with movement. Legend also tells of a beast that roams the hills – all who see it perish. Which made us think… how did the story start in the first place?
Food Matching
Best on its own but can be paired with treacle, toffee, coffee and caramel desserts
