Festbier Launch
On Saturday 26th September, we're launching our new Festbier at the taproom alongside the Harvest Festival!
The new Orbit Festbier will be pouring alongside two guest festival lagers: Zötler Festbier and Allgäuer Festbier. So, if you're up for crisp, refreshing, and malty lagers, there’ll be plenty to try.
As it's a LAUNCH, if you’re a Locals Card holder, you can enjoy a free pint of the new Orbit Festbier on the day. Find out more about the Locals Card.
Dragon Flame BBQ will be cooking up a selection of specials including jumbo hotdogs which you can get with a pint of Festbier for just £14.50.
Autumn Celebrations
It wouldn’t be a Harvest Festival without a bit of friendly competition, so we’ll have a conkers tournament running again this year throughout the day. Bring your best conker and see how you get on (we'll have some here to play with too).
Later on, we’ll be turning up the volume with a DJ set from Unemployable Welsh Scum, from 8pm onwards. And we'll also be collecting donations for Southwark Foodbank over the weekend. At the moment, on their most needed list:
- Jam
- Pasta sauce
- Tinned vegetarian meals
- Biscuits
- Tinned vegetables
- Tinned soup
So come down, raise a glass to the changing season, try the new Orbit Festbier, and help us make our second annual Harvest Festival in South London another great one!
The New Festbier - What to Expect
Orbit’s take on a Bavarian festival lager. A blend of Vienna malt, lager malt, and Bohemian pilsner malt lay down aromas of fresh bread, honey, crackers, and biscuits. The very subtle addition of Cherry Ember Smoked Malt adds a depth of character, bringing a faint hint of woodsmoke that lifts the other malt aromas rather than dominates. Think freshly baked bread from a wood-fired oven rather than smoky bacon or peat.
Tettnang and Perle provide a traditional German hop profile, offering soft floral and spicy aromas, and a clean herbal bitterness to finish. A warm golden colour with a lasting white head, this 5.2% Festbier is the perfect pairing for good food and good company.
And, if you have one of our locals cards you'll get a pint of the new beer to try on the house that evening.
