🍻 HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO SIMCOE 🍻

Our new Simcoe West Coast IPA has landed — and the early word from the punters? Dangerously sessionable.

Brewed as a small batch with Simcoe Cryo hops, it’s everything we love about a modern West Coast IPA: piney, citrusy and packed with stone fruit, with a clean finish and just the right hit of lingering bitterness.

At 6.2% ABV, it has plenty of hop character without drinking like a heavyweight. Which is probably why we’re hearing a lot of “I’ll have another one.

But this is a limited release — when this batch is gone, it’s gone.

🍺 Pop into the Bad Shepherd bar and try one fresh from the tap, or order yours online and get the fridge sorted.

Single Hop. Big Impact. Some hops deserve the spotlight all to themselves. Simcoe is one of them. Hopelessly Devoted to Simcoe is a modern West Coast IPA brewed to showcase one of the world's most iconic hop varieties. Crystal clear and brilliantly drinkable, it delivers everything hop lovers crave....

THURSDAY MATHS 🧮🍔🍺

Some equations are just meant to be.

🍔 Burger + 🍟 Fries + 🍺 Schooner = $25

No calculator required. Just one very good reason to make every Thursday your favourite night of the week.

Our pick? The Montreal Smoked Meat Burger. House-cured and smoked Montreal-style brisket piled with melted cheese, crunchy pickles and our signature Alabama White Sauce, all served on a toasted milk bun. Rich, smoky, tangy and seriously satisfying.
