One of the original beers brewed here at Stone Angel Towers was Nocturne, our English Dark Mild. And we have brewed it a couple of times a year since, so it always comes and go.
As we are redesigning our family of labels, we also decided to change its name to something more Dickensian, to tie it with Miss Havisham and Two Pence HalfPenny, all English style beers. Three Jolly Bargemen being the name of a pub in Great Expectations – we think it’s our kind of pub, riverside or canalside, with a few picnic tables on a patch of grass, maybe pies, definitely Scampi Fries…
We also took the time to slightly evolve the recipe, with the result is Three Jolly Bargemen is a delicious English Dark Mild with a rounder mouthfeel than Nocturne. But still lower alcohol at a shade over 3 percent. Enjoy at the taproom on draught or in cans to go!
