Cortado Stout

Roasted malt and coffee, with warming notes of dark chocolate and plumb.

Ground control to major taste! This autumn, we've teamed up with our Brixton neighbours, Volcano Coffee Works, to create a brew that'll have you shooting for the stars. We've infused a super smooth stout with Volcano's single-origin Brazilian ground coffee, Sombra. Strap yourselves in, engines on!

Sombra represents Volcano's agroforestry prowess in Brazil, cultivating a vibrant forest ecosystem where coffee plants and birdlife can thrive together.

All profits from this beer support this ground-breaking initiative.

Ground Control

ELECTRIC TROPICAL LAGER STORY

Electric Tropical Lager takes inspiration from the tropical fruit stalls on Brixton’s iconic market street, Electric Avenue – made famous by the Eddie Grant song of the same name.

The stalls here have been part of the fabric of Brixton for decades – piled high with all manner of tropical fruit, vegetables and spices brought here by the waves of immigrants who've made Brixton their home.

We’d been talking about brewing a fruit-flavoured lager for some time, and after trying many combinations, we landed on mango and pineapple with a hint of ginger for balance. No artificial sweeteners, just proper tropical flavour brewed into a crisp, refreshing lager.
