COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
From a lineage of cryptic beer names... Hud-a-wa’ is Scots for "hold the wall" and was the nickname of one of our great-great-grandfathers. He was a strong fella who once held up a wall while his workmates escaped from a collapsing mine. He’d have approved of this strong amber ale: rich and restorative, yet with enough hop to keep you coming back for more. As Hud-a-wa’ would have said: "Here’s tae us, wha’s like us, damn few, and they’re a’ deid... mairs the pity!

Malt: Pale Malt, Crystal 90, Crystal 250, Pale Chocolate
Hops: Nelson Sauvin, NZ Styrian Golding, NZ Cascade, Pacifica
Yeast: London ESB

Suggested beer-pants colour match: Magenta (in a style that suits you)
