Beyond The
pale ale
In the foggy past, patrons of The Bell Inn, our 600-year-old pub in the neighbouring village of Walberswick, told tall tales of ghostly ships that haunted the shore. The seeds of those stories were likely sown by smugglers in a plot to keep the coast clear, but they went on to inspire our best-selling brew. Back in 2010, our brewers spent an evening enjoying Walberswick's pubs with visiting brewers from American, who raved about a new US hop variety called Citra. We decided to try it at the next opportunity and built Ghost Ship's recipe around it. It truly is a beer born of fireside conversations and stories told in pubs along the Suffolk coast.
