“Their hand-crafted approach, where the finger prints are still visible on each animated model, has parallels to our brewing style.”
Michael added: “It was a pleasure to work alongside Peter to develop the recipe for this beer. We have tried to bring a modern interpretation to the traditional Best Bitter style, animating it with bright citrus character and bold yeast flavours.”
Stop Frame will be launching at Nettle & Rye in Clifton Village on Friday, October 26, before becoming served from cask and in bottle across Bristol and nationwide.
