Durham Devil’s Lapstone

Legend tells how the Devil offered to help build Durham Cathedral. He planned to make foundations of rock so crumbly that when thousands of people crowded into the Cathedral for its opening, the building would collapse, killing everyone inside. He dropped one of the stones in Castle Eden dene and it lays there still.

A strong traditional English best bitter. Deep amber in colour; Maris Otter malt is combined with Amber, Crystal and Oats to form a full and rich base for the hops to sit. Hedgerow and citrus orange aroma with a full and rich biscuit malt base, creating nutty toffee notes. Balanced by a satisfying bitterness and a long, dry finish. A modern take on a British classic.
