Because We Can! Anspach & Hobday Launch The Cans

We’re incredibly proud and excited to launch our can range!

We’ve been working towards cans since our crowdfunding in January 2019, and along with our new production space in Croydon, it’s a great and very important time for us.

Our new cans are a bold statement. They're full of colour, perfectly canvasing our distinctive historic and contemporary figures, which have been enlarged to really appreciate their captivating detail. What we’ve created is an impactful, attractive and unique can range.

But it's not all about cosmetics. Cans enable us to deliver a better product although bottles will always have a place in our hearts. Cans permit a fresher and longer lasting beer, as if it were straight from the tank. All of the core range will be cans as standard from now on, though we’ve chosen to launch with three, and a tantalising special, all in 440ml measures.

We’re taking pre-orders on The Shop now and the cans will be widely available from Saturday 21st March. There’s a celebration happening in Croydon that day, so we hope you can join us there!

Now onto the beers..

The Pale Ale (4.4%) - Pale Ales are the mainstay of today’s craft brewing scene, but they date back to the 1700s, when innovation led to the production of new and paler malts. Our interpretation brings the style bang up to date, pairing a crisp malt base with fresh American hops. Light, bright & fruity, The Pale Ale is our ultimate drinking beer. Brewed with Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe.

The Sour Dry Hop (4.9%) - The Sour Dry Hop is the perfect balance of Old and New World brewing. Inspired by the traditional Berliner Weisse, a sour beer once brewed in Berlin and known as the 'Champagne of the North'. Ours is soured by Lactobacillus and dry-hopped with Citra. An unusual style that delivers a tart, citrusy fruitiness.

The Ordinary Bitter (3.7%) - The original session beer, Ordinary Bitters formed a cornerstone of English drinking culture. Perfectly balanced between malt sweetness and hop bitterness, our interpretation is brought up to date with the use of US Chinook hops. Delicate hop aromas of pine, spice and dark fruits are followed by a smooth, full bodied palate with notes of biscuit and caramel. Brewed with EKG and Chinook.


The Sea Salt & Chilli Stout (7.4%)
- A big, smooth, balanced stout brewed with sea salt, chillies and cacao nibs. Full bodied with a touch of salt. Scotch Bonnet chillies give at first a fresh fruitiness and then lead to a gentle warming. The whole beer is balanced by a small addition of cacao nibs, used to add a smoothness to the body, rather than to impart a chocolate character. A perfect match for oysters, but equally as delicious on its own. Brewed with Bramling Cross and Summit.
