The Vocation Brewery Hilltop Lager is headed to the UK market to provide consumers with a premium libation to try out this fall that prioritizes an authentic, flavor-forward profile. The beer is slated to arrive now at Tesco locations and boasts a 4.3% ABV with a bold, fresh flavor profile that's paired with easy-drinking attributes. The beer is ideal for quality-minded consumers to try out and also pays homage to the brewery's origin in an old chicken shed situated on a hill 1,000-feet above sea level.
Senior Brand Manager Chris Mitchell spoke on the Vocation Brewery Hilltop Lager saying, "Hilltop Lager is a tribute to where we started – a small independent brewery founded 1,000 feet above sea level in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire. We wanted to capture that sense of adventure and resilience that has always been a part of our story. This lager isn’t just refreshing, it’s brewed with purpose, and we’re thrilled to be offering consumers a premium beer that’s as authentic and bold as our beginnings.”
