Seasonal beer, August-September -Three Hares –ABV 3.6%

It was sad to see the passing of July and with it another year’s gyle of our seasonal brew, Wild Honey which had proved so popular, but do not despair and instead, look forward to August, and to September and console yourselves with the brewing and in the drinking of an old favourite of ours -Three Hares, a deliciously hoppy, 3.6% beer, dry hopped in the cask with a generous quantity of the flower of that most wonderful Humulus lupulus and thus yielding a fine hoppy nose. When Mike first brewed to this fine recipe, he decided upon a name inspired by a small a scene depicted in the stained glass of All Saints Church whose grand steeple reaches high above the Kirkgate rooftops across the street from the Bitter End -that of three white hares.
