New label alert! ✍️✨

Old Red Eyes Is Back 😍🍺💥
A stunning new English red ale from Pinkers Craft Brewery 🖤💗 available to order online or drink straight from the cask at Fork n Ale in Weston-super-Mare and The Fallen Tree Micropub in Clevedon! 🍻🍻

On a personal note, I'm also very excited that Paul Heaton from The Beautiful South has personally approved use of the beer name (taken from their 1992 hit!) and taken delivery of a case of ales to share with the band...how cool is that?!! 💛💖💛

Out Of The Blu 🖤 💙 Last year this gorgeous boy went AWOL from his home for several weeks and scared the bejeezus out of his owners. Turns out he went on his own extreme adventure and came back with a few war wounds to prove it. He’s quite a miracle and proof of how resilient dogs can be when in survival mode. Good for you Blu! 🙏🏼💙✨
