Lightbulb may well be our most fitting beer name. Originally, its title referenced how our head brewer James described the colour he wanted the finished beer to be – the shade of a 100w light bulb to be precise. Now we’re increasingly aware that Lightbulb may well be the beer that literally keeps the lights on. Over our short lifespan, Lightbulb has ironically been responsible for some of our darker moments. Lightbulb’s recipe is the one we have wrestled with the most, and many brewers will tell you it’s the simpler recipes that are hardest to perfect. The extra pale ale (XPA) has been a part of our core range since the very beginning. However, it was Headband’s recipe that was dialled in much quicker. Headband is a session version of our bigger beers – overripe tropical fruit, a rich mouthfeel and a quick, smooth finish.
