Polly’s Essentials box 12-pack

Rosebud - IPA 5.9%

Our flagship core beer - the style we're most well known for, and what we do best. Rosebud is an IPA brewed in the New-England style; the most popular variant of the style in the world. We've hopped this beer with the freshest Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops to create a certified tropical punchbowl of flavour. Strong enough to retain all that incredible flavour and mouthfeel, but sessionable enough to still smash pints of.

Spur - IPA 7.2%

Spur has always been a massive in-house favourite here at Polly's, and the proof is in the pudding - the hop bill of Azacca, Citra and Simcoe bounces with Um-Bongo levels of tropical flavour, featuring a full on fruit salad of papaya, peach, tangerine and mango on both the nose and flavour. The scrappy medium child of the original Augment trio - a nightmare to can on its first go round in 2019 on the back of how highly hopped it was - we've tamed this awesome beast and brought it into our Icons range as a permanent fixture. Slathered with our bespoke in-house LA3 yeast culture for massive hop suspension, this is a beer that is 100% hazy, dank, and juicy. Spur, it's good to have you back for good.

Silk Chord - Pale Ale 4.8%

Whisper it quietly, but now that the clocks have gone forward, the nights are getting a little brighter once again, and that can only mean one thing - it’s almost that glorious part of the year where sundowner pints with mates in a beer garden becomes a thing again. We love to make an annual celebration of this incredible point in the calendar with a beer specifically designed for just this situation, and Silk Chord continues that tradition with gusto. Setting the foundations up with an off the beaten track hop variety in Cashmere, this beer builds on a wonderful lemon-curd base, backed up with smooth bitterness from its usage on the hot side, before an additional flourish of Cashmere and Polly’s stalwart Simcoe on the cold side brings all manner of bright limes, melon, stonefruit, and peach sweetness to the party. Set back at a sessionable 4.8%, this one is for sharing good times with pals.

Patternist - IPA 6.6%

The original underrated dark horse of the original three and back permanently as part of our Icons range; Patternist has gained and continues to carry its own massive cult following thanks to it's no frills El Dorado and Simcoe hop bill, albeit hopped up to the absolute nines, and its ornate tiling artwork garnering amazing feedback. A favourite among the staff here at Polly's, and the beer from the original three that started it all that we've brewed the most since we launched our Augment range, expect all kinds of mango, pineapple, jelly tots (no, really) with just a hint of resinous pine bursting from this incredible IPA. A hit when we first brewed it, and a surefire hit again with all the techniques we continue to learn since

Flavoured Camo - West Coast Pale Ale 5.4%

When you're hitting the West Coast, you've gotta stay for the sun baby! Whilst we typically aim our Westies as a shameless homage to the Washington and Oregon resinous hop bombs of yesteryear, Flavoured Camo takes a soft top convertible south, along California 1 for a trip along the Pacific Highway. A West Coast Pale Ale certifiably drenched with sunlight, we've taken inspiration from the laid back, relaxed vibe of the Californian way of life in this beer; with a heavy whirlpool addition of Cascade bringing the bitterness to the party to play off perfectly against fresh cut grass, pine, and grapefruit notes from our reeled back use of Chinook and Citra in the dry hop. Fermented clean for maximum drinkability.

Idaho 7 - Pale Ale 5.5%

Through every iteration of our growth over the last demi-decade, one thing that has persisted throughout is this brewery’s love of hops, and how we’ve born an entire business that now looks after the livelihoods of fourteen team members from this love. The Hop Studio felt like a natural extension of this love - showcasing the single most complex, wonderfully diverse ingredient we use in our process bar none. Idaho 7 has gone from a bubbling undercurrent varietal to one of our most highly used and dependable hops; holding its own alongside Polly’s stalwarts Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe. First developed back in 2015 at Jackson Hop Farm in Idaho, The Gem State’s first generation hop farm were working with Sierra Nevada at the time on a series of varietals to use in their beers, and the seventh submitted one really seemed to bridge the gap between tropical and citrus; with some striking melon, red berry, and most prominently, tangerine marmalade notes that blew them all away. Now Jackson’s primary source of output, we’re eternally grateful for their efforts and having scaled up to IPA and DIPA strength, we’re reeling it back for a laid back, easygoing pale ale.

Am Byth - Welsh Red Ale 5.0%

Sometimes you’ve just got to lean into your heritage when brewing a beer. As a proud beer producing nation we often find Wales is left behind more fashionable English and Scottish contemporaries in beer conversation. With this in mind and with the early Spring weather as a jumping point, we wanted to create a beer that pays homage to our home country and everything it encapsulates - the result is Am Byth, a hoppy Welsh red ale born of passion for the rolling hills and valleys in which we’re lucky to call home. Letting the malt lead the way, this beer bursts with biscuity sweetness, before a gentle addition of Amarillo and Simcoe brings the bitterness. All together now - Cymru Am Byth. 

Pink Boots - IPA 6.2%

Dark Demo - Darkfruits Sour 4.5%

Get Comfortable - Oatmeal Stout 5.6%

Whilst we’re very much a tropical and fruit forward pale and hoppy brewery by trade, we do occasionally brew to the seasons here at Polly’s HQ. With it being the peak of winter, we’re yearning for something simple, to be enjoyed in front of a roaring fire in a pub with mates. Step in Get Comfortable. We’ve always floated around the dark side of things, but never really explored too far within this territory. Wanting to up the oats on the grist bill to create a purposely full bodied stout, we’re letting the malt and the malt alone do the talking on this beer. A full 20% of the grist bill being oats, we’ve backed this up with black malt and pale chocolate malt to go with our house standard extra pale to create a velvety smooth, decadent stout that isn’t extreme on the strength. Perfect for this time of year.

Rustic Rouge - Red IPA 6.0%

There was just something about growing up as beer drinkers as the craft beer movement was growing. Being in that moment where everything was new and shiny and exciting, queues around the corner from a bottleshop for the latest hype release, texts from mates to say a first pour was happening and you simply had to get back into town to try it, you just had to be there to truly appreciate it. Whilst craft beer has grown up and (whisper it quietly) joined the mainstream, we wanted to harken back to those days where there was a genuine excitement about new styles and techniques brewers were employing to poke their heads above the crowd. Rustic Rouge is our callback to the wonderful simplicity, but tremendous complexity of the Red IPA; a style that seems to have fallen from the radar in more recent years of haze craze. A single-hop showcase of Amarillo plays off a flourish from our usual grist bill with red crystal rye malt to create a beer that has an aggressively bitter bite, with a bright burst of marmalade sweetness. 

Little Joys (Lallemand Collab) - Lager 3.8%

It’s the little joys that are the best - after a long week slogging away at the brewkit, a busy week moving beer out of the brewery, a marathon of a week touching base with customers and ensuring they’re getting what they need, there’s a small victory in that first sip of a crisp, cold lager; ideally with the sun beating down to boot. We were honoured to bring our brewing ingredients supplier Lallemand to North Wales after hearing of a brand new hybrid yeast strain that could turn one of our lagers around much faster than usual. Utilising this as the basis of our beer, we’ve gone very much stripped down, back to basics, no fuss on this lager. A gentle addition of noble hop Hallertauer Mittelfruh gives a lager that is everything we look for after a long week at the brewery - clean, crisp, with a floral and slightly spicy edge.
