West Coast IPA · 440ml
Ghost Fell
A West Coast IPA with its elbows out. Pine, grapefruit and a bitterness we refuse to sand down for anyone.

About this one.
Ghost Fell is named for the moor above Joe's nan's farm, where the fog comes down so fast the sheep look like rumours. It is our argument that the West Coast IPA never needed fixing.
Clear as we can make it, bitter as we dare, and dry-hopped twice because once felt polite. It won a medal in 2023. We keep the certificate in the loo, framed.
