A sweet pale ale of 4.5% late hopped for a luscious floral aroma. Our biggest selling beer!

Edwin Beard Budding of Thrupp, Stroud, invented the lawnmower in 1830 - 'for the purpose of cropping or shearing the vegetable surface of lawns, grass plats, and pleasure grounds'.

Budding was an engineer servicing the abundant wool mills of the Stroud valleys and he took his inspiration from a machine with a helical blade that cut the nap (fluff) off the newly woven cloth. Budding went into partnership with, John Ferrabee to produce the mowers at Phoenix Mill Foundries in Thrupp. An example of Buddings original lawnmower can be seen at the Stroud 'Museum in the Park'.

In the world of new age hops and beer styles like NEIPAs dominating the craft market recently. It's easy to forget how good Organic UK ingredients can be. We've created an oaty pale ale, with all ingredients coming from within the UK; to help to showcase the best of local. This beer has a generous addition of oats to give a rich and smooth feel to the beer which is well-balanced and bursting with flavour with Malt from the Cotswolds and Hops from Hereford, this is a brew that really shows that locally we can do what many others can do globally.
