– Exclusive UK keg launch of West Coast IPA / Hosted by Chuck Silva Wednesday 23rd July – 7.30pm
Since being established in 2002 by Mike and Lisa Hinkley, Green Flash Brewing Co. has gone from strength to strength in pretty much every way! Most notably the beers but also in brewery size, team, popularity and recognition as well as other areas. These award winning folks have an amazing core range as well as consistently producing great experimental, limited edition and seasonal beers (an example of which is seducing people from the PSBH fridge as we speak)
Please join us for the keg launch of their very successful ‘expedition to brew the benchmark West Coast IPA’ (it’s like the old one but even better!?!) hosted by the Brewmaster himself Chuck Silva.
– American Beer Festival 2014 / round up
The opening day saw us welcome Jeremy Stull of Beermoth who presented a number of his favourite bottles along side a talk on his first hand experiences of the American beer scene. There were bottles from Jacks Abby, Heretic and Pipeworks to name just a few, alongside a rare treat in Perennial’s Saison de Lis from Stull’s personal collection.
As well as some of our regulars like Brooklyn, Anchor, Flying Dog and staff favourite Victory Prima Pils, we’ve had some new favourites on the bar courtesy of Heretic, Ruhstaller, Stillwater and North Coast. At the time of writing this North Coast’s Old Rasputin was still available, if you haven’t yet tried it we recommend you do, it’s rich and complex and hits all the right notes for an imperial stout. If you missed out on all these great kegs then don’t worry because we also stocked up our fridges with some great state side bottles and cans, just don’t wait too long or we’ll have drunk all the Westbrook One Claw Rye.
Next up, IPA Day!

FOOD – Party in my Pans
A Bristol based authentic Louisiana eating experience, a spicy crawfish boil that is best shared with friends and loved ones in the spirit of good food and good times.
Winner of the Grillstock “Brand Stomping New” competition 2014 and appearing at pop-ups across the country.
The crawfish (or American crayfish) is a regional delicacy and party favourite throughout the southern United States. Unintentionally released into British waterways, and bossing out the native European crayfish, the crawfish is a tasty titbit that you can eat without guilt as you’re helping restore the natural environment.
The crawfish are professionally caught by the lovely guys at The Crayfish Company, where they are graded and delivered live and snapping so that you get the freshest and tastiest with Party In My Pans.
