The beer, Weird Pig, has been fermented with a lager yeast but at ale temperatures while the grist is Pale Malt, Vienna, Caramalt and some Crystal.

Kettle hops used in the brew are Magnum for bittering, Simcoe, Centennial and Columbus in late on.

What makes it more special is that for the dry hop, they have managed to secure EXP431.

Sean Ayling, director and brewer at Pig and Porter tells us: “The Weird Beard collaboration came about because Gregg and I know each other from homebrew days and we share a birthday.

“It seemed obvious then, to brew a collab to celebrate our respective birthdays. As we have a lot in common.”
