The Holy Goat Brewing takeover is LIVE. Beers tasting phenomenal. Background heckling: also top tier. Let's go! 🐐 🤘

This is how we Holy Goat Brewing it, Bitterne Park style - cheers, Johnny! And thank you to everybody that joined us, be it for the tasting or the Takeover at large. 🤘 Readying the pub for day 2 now - and if you missed out, we're happy to announce everything clung on. 🙌

⚠️ REMINDER - open 'til late today, and open Monday! 🙌 We'll be closed Tuesday to catch up, but back at 4pm on Wednesday. Keep eyes peeled for a BIG event announcement tomorrow... 👀

🔥 We waited two years to get Omnipollo back in the building. Somehow, just three months later, they're at it again! 🔥 Call it fate. Call it madness. Call it a very welcome surprise. 😋 Check the images for the lineup, or hit the event page: 🔗 bit.ly/omnipollo2

I've just had a very chilled Bank Holiday Monday in the The Butcher's Hook. I had some great beer, caught up with a few people I haven't seen for a while, and all looked after by Matt running the bar. Really very pleasant.

Oh yes! A chilled night at The Hook with the crew — a little staff social to celebrate a phenomenal May! 🍻 Huge thanks to everyone who supported us last month; it was BIG. 😅 And you just know we couldn’t have done it without this amazing lot behind the scenes.

🇺🇸 Doomed country; divine beer. Our annual US event returns—showcasing the biggest, silliest & best from craft beer's homeland. Including fresh, air-freighted kegs from Deep Fried & Fidens! 😱 Check the images for the lineup, or hit the event page: 🔗 bit.ly/biginamerica

With Omnipollo returning this Friday, it's not just kegs we're excited about... Grab the full set of these 3 and you'll bag a free heavyweight Omnipollo tankard (usually £12). These beers won't be (can't be!) restocked — once they're gone, that's it.

7️⃣ Omnipollo kegs?! Yes - from 1pm Friday! 😋 🍺 Paradis Mango (Fruited TIPA) 🍺 The Middle (TIPA) 🍺 Pleroma Pineapple (Sour) 🍺 Juicy Bits (NEIPA) 🍺 Nebuchadnezzar Junior (WCIPA) 🍺 Omnipollos Tokyo (IPA) 🍺 Flow (Lager) See you tomorrow? 😁

The weather's come good (never in doubt!) and our Omnipollo madness is pouring from 1pm! 😋🔥 Seven kegs. Three more in bottles & cans. One glorious, neon-soaked Friday. Come early, come thirsty — or just come gawp at the pretty colours. See you at the bar! 🍻

Grey skies didn't stop the Omnipollo revellers spilling outside — huge thanks to everyone who packed us out yesterday! 🍻 Day 2 starts with Juicy Bits gone (though a beauty from Verdant steps in to keep things hazy). FYI there's just one bottle of All The Vanilla left...👀

The Coast to Coast '25 beers are here! 🍻 What We Do is pouring now — a lush hazy pale with peach 🍑, pineapple 🍍 and passion fruit 🍹 vibes. Once that kicks, Played Like A Piano steps in. Same hops, different groove: a crisp, piney and citrusy West Coast-er. 🌲🍊

Fresh delivery just in — and it's a big one! 🙌 A rare Stigbergets drop (including an Omnipollo collab 🇸🇪), new Rivington, summer-ready Pastore, plus unhinged smoothie sours from Ārpus & friends. 🧃 The smoothie cans are already chilling in the rear fridge's secret stash. 😎

The rain's done its bit — we'll take it from beer. 🍻 And with nothing less than this cask-exclusive release from Kernel Brewery! Krush is the ideal antidote to the humidity: bright, clean, soft & balanced, with tropical aromas & delicate bitterness. Far too ruddy drinkable!

Remember the Spaceshakes from makemake.beer? They're back — in vanilla form! 🥤 After chocolate & strawberry, there was only one logical next step. It's a daft, delicious mess, and it won't hang around for long. Word is there's another Shake on the horizon too… Should we? 🍌

Sol Invictus from Holy Goat Brewing - an ultra-refreshing riff on a Radler, dosed with the juice & zest of oranges 🍊 and lemons 🍋. Juicy, tart, and endlessly drinkable. Your ultimate summer thirst quencher. 🌞 Built for the heat (even when you're not). 🍻

Who'll claim the first fresh pint of cask Bissoe from Verdant Brewing Co 🍻? 🥇 An endlessly moreish 5.3% IPA built on UK-grown Harlequin & Cascade hops. Bright, breezy, and just bitter enough to keep calling you back. No gimmicks. No haze (😱). Just a perfectly tuned pint.

Cherry-heads, assemble! This one's a showstopper from Pastore Brewing and Blending. 🍒 Of Fenland & Lolland is drenched in Stevnsbær cherries from Denmark's Frederiksdal estate - some of the richest, darkest fruit imaginable. A deep, full-on cherry bomb of the highest order. 💣🤤

Business Secrets Of The Pharaohs - Mark Corrigan's vanity-press masterpiece, now a Sureshot Brewing NEIPA. 📜 Better than a foot of wine. Or a metre of vodka (with an inch of tonic). Just don't combine metric and imperial measures - you don't want an interdenominational hangover.
