A recent visit by Worcester CAMRA, a group of beer enthusiasts, was a delightful journey for their taste buds. On September 30th 2022, a Friday, they embarked on a journey to sample the brewery’s lineup of beers. From session IPAs that go down easy to hearty porters, the variety offered something for everyone. A pint starting at just \u00a33.60, the prices make it a budget-friendly destination for exploring craft brews.<\/p>\n
What sets Hopshed apart is the beverages themselves and how they’re presented. The friendly staff behind the bar are happy to guide you through the different styles and flavours available. Their insights benefit those who might be new to the world of ales. One beer that stood out was the Green Hop Pale Ale, boasting the refreshing essence of Emperor hops and a gentle 4% ABV \u2013 a true crowd-pleaser.<\/p>\n
It’s not just about the drinks \u2013 a culinary surprise awaits outside. A mobile Sri Lankan curry van offers an ever-changing menu of meat and vegetarian dishes, a perfect companion to the beers.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0%||0%||true” global_colors_info=”{}” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#4b4f54″ text_orientation=”justify” min_height=”100%” custom_margin=”-5px||” custom_padding=”9%||9%||true|” hover_enabled=”0″ text_text_align=”justify” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]
