Small Gods X Whistling Sisters
Sir Bedevere was one of King Arthur’s most trusted companions at the Round Table. When the legendary ruler was mortally wounded in battle at Camlann he bequeathed his holy sword, Excalibur, to Bedevere with instructions to return it to the Lady of the Lake from whom he received the famous blade. Upon arriving at the shores of the lake, Bedevere found himself unable to discard such a sacred relic and hid the weapon instead and returned to the dying Arthur’s side. His falsehood however, was discovered. Thoroughly reprimanded for his lies he returned to the lake in shame and cast away Excalibur as his liege commanded. As the sword fell, an arm clad in shimmering white samite arose from the water as the Lady of the Lake snatched it from the air before dragging it to its final resting place beneath the surface.
Bedevere is a Table Beer, brewed in collaboration with the team at Wellington’s Whistling Sisters Brewery. This light, bright, complex and sessionable ale features citrusy and zesty modern German hops, Ariana and Callista, which deliver a refreshing punch of lemon, tangerine, peach and jasmine. This delicate fruit character floats over a light and fresh base of Pilsner, Wheat and Vienna malts and is underpinned by a peppery yeast character. Gloriously drinkable and invigoratingly interesting.
