They are here to tease, here to sway and persuade, here to breathe softly and carry you away. They are the sirens of Siren Craft Brew. They are the Unknown. The Beers: Undercurrent - a 4.5% pale ale with spicy, grassy aromas and a taste of grapefruit and apricot. Soundwave - a 5.6% west coast IPA: golden, immensely hoppy and alive with grapefruit, peach and mango flavours. Liquid Mistress: a 5.8% west coast red IPA: burnt raisins and crackers balanced by citrus. Broken Dream: a 6% breakfast stout with a gentle touch of smoke, coffee and chocolate. Calypso: a 4% Berliner-style sour beer that is liberally dry hopped, the newest addition to our core beer range, known for her sharp tongue. Yu Lu: a 3.6% loose leaf pale ale brewed with Earl Grey Tea which delivers subtle bergamot orange and lemon notes.

      Come and enjoy on-site drinking every Friday, Saturday and Sunday (operating as A Bottle Shop only on Wednesdays and Thursdays).
