A beer that’s out of this world 👽

We’re very excited to reveal that we’ll be one of the venues taking part in the world famous, once a year run of Steady Rolling Strata, on tap from Friday 1st November🐊

If you tried Steady Rolling Strata when we were lucky enough to have it on last year, you’ll agree that it really is out of this world. A reinterpreting of the DEYA classic, it’s packed with bang fresh Strata hops courtesy of from September’s harvest, flown straight to the UK and direct into the tank.

And if you really want to go intergalactic, this year sees the return of DOUBLE Steady Rolling Strata - an 8% DIPA that’ll be pouring from the 1st too. We reckon demand for both will be really high (last year’s keg lasted a little over 24 hours…) so don’t miss out!

🚀🚀🚀

We’re kicking ourselves that it took until earlier this year for a Nothing Bound brew to grace our taps...

So it only seemed right to rectify that with a killer tap takeover featuring some firm favourites and new classics! Come on down to Moseley’s favourite craft watering hole and see just what all the fuss is about and try the very best this fantastic brewery has to offer. We’ve been blown away by Nothing Bound’s output - their hazy NEIPA, Finn & Maya, currently holds the DH record for quickest ever beer to sellout! - and this promises to be a really special few days.

Beers pouring from 5pm on the 10th and when they’re gone, they’re gone!
