COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - January to March.
This famous Stone stands below the White Horse in the village of Kingston Lisle. It is said that he who can blow the stone shall be king, so we have made a beer fit for a king. Using only the finest English pale & amber malt to produce a traditional brown beer, which we hop with a combination of English brambling cross and challenger. Enjoy
