About
We're thrilled to announce that we're part of the 5th birthday celebrations of the incredible Siren Craft Brew.

We're one of 11 bars taking part up throughout the country and there is a pretty special beer list as part of the celebrations with some old favourites rebrewed especially for the event.

Highlights come in the form of the incredible Hill Farmstead collaboration 'Limoncello IPA' and the infamous Cigar City Collab Caribean Chocolate Cake.

We'll have food available from one of our faves, Perissia Persian Street Food vendors through the evening.

Here is the provisional beer list. Best to get the Friday booked off work ASAP!!!

Limoncello IPA (Hill Farmstead Collaboration)
Style: Tart & Juicy Lemon DIPA
ABV: 9.1%
Description:Limoncello IPA is returning for one batch only to celebrate 5 amazing years of brewing, with the support of long-standing friends, collaborators and inspiration: Hill Farmstead. A malt base of pilsner and wheat creates a subtle crisp backbone that is kettle soured. We add lactose to hint at the mouthfeel and sweetness of the liqueur, balance it with lemon zest and juice for sharpness, then round everything off with lemony, citrus-led hops. One of our all time favourites.


Caribbean Chocolate Cake (Cigar City Collaboration)
Style: Tropical Stout
ABV: 7.4%
Description: Caribbean Chocolate Cake is an indulgent collaboration with Cigar City Brewing – a dense, rich and luxurious stout. Hand-roasted cacao nibs from the USA give hints of tamarind and soft lemon. The malt provides coffee and chocolate notes in abundance, while the hop profile offers orange, chocolate and coconut flavours. Ageing on Cypress Wood is the icing on the cake. Pure bottled indulgence.

Maiden 2017
Style: Barrel Aged Barley Wine Blend
ABV: 11.3%
Description: Maiden was the first beer ever brewed at Siren and is the first new batch brewed each year. It was always designed to represent everything we’re about as a brewery; creativity, experimentation, good fun, and most importantly, great beer. The American style Barley Wine is aged in a variety of spirit and wine barrels, before being blended back together with a percentage of fresh beer, to create that year’s vintage. The barrels that have been used are left with 10% aged beer in them before being topped up with fresh Maiden, in what is a form of the Solera system. This ensures a constant evolution and development of flavour. Maiden 2017 celebrates five amazing years of brewing at Siren. The 2017 blend contains beer from Rum, Bourbon (including Heaven Hill & Jim Beam), Red Wine (French Oak), Tequila and Auchentoshan Single Malt barrels, along with about 15% made up of fresh Maiden. The aroma truly sings this year with red wine and berry notes prominent, before pillowy soft marshmallow on the palate gives way to spirit and spicy wood undertones. The blend rounds off with a long, rich finish.
