LECHYD DA!

It’s the toasting turn of phrase in Wales, and it’s what we’re saying as we proudly debut our latest new brew: HIRAETH Welsh Red Ale.

This collab with Purple Moose Brewing of Porthmadog in North Wales is being released prior to St. David’s Day March 1 and evokes the spirit of ‘Hiraeth’ — a deep longing for one’s home — that is near and dear to the heart of our Welsh Co-Owner Nigel Pike.

This 3.9% ABV session ale is balanced slightly toward the malt with a toffee sweetness and a biscuity palate that mingles with balanced hop notes of bramble, red fruit tart and raspberry leaf.

Raise a glass to the memories, connections and the places that call us back home — no matter how far we roam.
