On 12th October 1706, a travelling fishmonger is said to have dropped a crab on the outskirts of the Dorset village of Shapwick. The locals, having never seen a crab before, armed themselves with pitchforks and sticks to drive away this ’devil monster’. Today, ’Crab Farm’ still commemorates the spot where the Shapwick Monster was first sighted.
Brewed with Target and Hallertau Select hops, this lambic-style beer has been infused with orange peel, cloves and juniper berries for a warming aromatic effect. Best enjoyed at room temperature in champagne flutes. |
