BEERS FOR A BARBECUE

45 DAYS ORGANIC PILSNER 4.7%, £3.70

Danish craft brewers To Øl appreciate it takes time to make a good pilsner. An unhurried, 45-day fermentation and maturation process produces crisp, delicate flavours that complement – rather than overpower – anything cooked over charcoal.

TIDAL REVEALS PEACH & APRICOT IMPERIAL GOSE 7%, £5.50

This beer by Polly's Brew Co. balances sweet fruits with measured tartness, then wraps everything up with a sprinkle of sea salt. This IPA will bring out the beauty in sweet and salted sides.

NEAL GETS THINGS DONE IPA 6.5%, £5.95

As the sun sinks you’ll want to sip something substantial. While you could turn to any of Verdant’s outstanding hop-range, Neal Gets Things Done is a top-notch drop. Thick and rich with layer after layer of pineapple and grape.
