Need Inspiration For A Summer Beer? Try Hopfest from Mad Squirrel!

When the heat finally arrives, the best way to cool off is with a good pint. But what is the best pint to have this summer? 

Hopfest from Mad Squirrel is a refreshing session pale that is perfect for quenching your thirst on a hot day. With an ABV of 3.8% and a delicious mix of Citra, Centennial and Chinook hops, this English beer is bursting with flavour. Not only that, but it’s also gluten-free! If you like citrus notes and fruity flavours, this is a must-try. 

Mad Squirrel was incorporated in 2010 and ever since they’re been dedicated to creating “unhinged beers”. Their main brewing location is in Hemel Hempstead, England, but you can enjoy their distinct beers in Zurich thanks to UK Craft Beers. Mad Squirrel has recently been awarded a SALSA+ accreditation, proving its status as a leading craft beer brewery. 

Hopfest has been purchased by a range of our stockists, however, if you want to experience this pint on draft, head to Grain and Althus to try this vibrant session IPA. We all know nothing beats a freshly poured summer beer, so make sure you try this UK craft beer while it’s in Zurich!
