Stinger

"Nettles are fierce, invasive — and they sting! They are also a wonderful ingredient, with a herbaceous flavour and a zesty tang.

They make a fantastic soup and bring a dose of the tops in a truly wonderful beer.

I promise it won’t sting. But the bright, citrusy notes will leave a lasting impression.

We’re brewing with locally foraged nettles from hedgerows and field margins that leave space for more good wildlife. Plants that help us to create essential habitats for some of our most important pollinators and wildlife.

There’s a lot to feel good about in this can!"

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, River Cottage.

"We’re proud to collaborate with Hugh and the River Cottage team and use our organic beer to help inspire change! Our trio of intriguing ales highlights the work we are doing to transform UK organic hop growing while driving biodiverse agriculture.

Responsibly farmed beer supports wildlife on farms, captures carbon back into our soils, improves water cycles and leaves our shared wild nature on our food.

So please join us in our appreciation of this natural abundance, with a nod to the rich diversity of the plants coursing the area: the nettle, the woody hemp and the zesty hops"
