GOLDMARK
On the evening of Friday 25th September, Lenson went on at Piries Bar in Horsham. It's been my local since the year 2000, when I was 18, and seeing our beer on that pump means the world to me.
The switch
Piries runs a rotating pump for hazy pales, and on Friday it was Lenson's turn on keg. We were there to watch the switch happen, and for the record, we had nothing to do with drinking the old beer off the pump ;-)
Chantler poured the first pint, and it went to Ethan. The first people to taste it were happy, and it went down very well.
Why Piries matters
Piries has been my social home for 26 years. When I came home from Iraq or Afghanistan, I'd head straight there. I knew I'd see a familiar face, I knew there'd be someone there I knew, and I'd get that feeling of being back home.
It's a special place, a home from home full of incredible people. That's why seeing our beer on that pump means the world. It's an honour.
Don't miss the boat
Lenson is on keg at Piries for as long as the kegs last. It's a rotating pump, so once it's gone we'll have to wait our turn among the local breweries before we're back on. Lenson is our 4.2% New England IPA, hopped with Idaho 7, Citra and Nectaron.
Thank you to Ross and everyone at Piries, and to everyone who's raised a glass of Lenson there already.
