Block Party
Intense, juicy tropical aromas meet a balanced bitterness: a cross between a modern New England IPA and an old-school West Coast IPA. Mosaic, Citra and Azacca hops sit on pale and extra pale malt, oats and wheat, at 5.2%. The name nods to the street parties at Sambrook's old brewery in Battersea; "Blocky" launched in November 2021 and is filled fresh into 5-litre minikegs.
