Signature Brew Sunny Afternoon has been announced by the London-based brewery as its latest refreshment that's crafted with summertime sipping in mind.
The libation comes in the form of a lemon radler made with Spanish lemons along with pilsner malt and Espoinardo hops to give it a decidedly crisp and crushable profile. The libation comes in with a 3.4% ABV to make it inherently easy to sip and savor, while its hazy, pale gold hue gives it a truly satisfying profile to admire in the summer heat. Limited to 200 kegs, the beer will only be around while stock lasts.
Founder Sam McGregor spoke on the Signature Brew Sunny Afternoon saying, "The best beers always come from collaboration, and Sunny Afternoon is no exception. I tasted it over the weekend, and it absolutely delivers, it’s the ultimate summer beer. A few times a year we like to get the whole team together for a well-earned knees-up, where we sample the fruits of our labours and look out to the months ahead."
