Thursday 24th - April Sours Launch

 Orbit Beers Taproom

 

We're launching the new April Sours this month - The Yorkshire Rhubarb Sour, and The Earl Grey Sour. Join us on Thursday when we'll have tasters available, both new beers on draft, and the brewery will be open for a tour at 7pm so you can have a look over the road at where we brew and learn about the souring process. 

Your first pint of one of the new sours is free tonight with a locals card - see here for details.

Yorkshire Rhubarb Sour:

Brewed with forced rhubarb from B. Tomlinson & Son—a.k.a. ‘Rhubarb Robert’, one of the last ten producers in Yorkshire’s historic ‘Rhubarb Triangle’. This clean, lightly fruited sour captures the delicate flavours of this uniquely cultivated ingredient. Grown in darkness and harvested by candlelight, the rhubarb brings a light tartness and a blush pink hue that hints at the fruity undertones, while a sherbet-like finish keeps it refreshingly drinkable. 

Earl Grey Sour:

A spritzy aromatic sour inspired by the gentle elegance of a classic blend of Earl Grey tea. This beer is infused with bergamots from La Sovrana, a family-run farm in Italy - hand-zested and juiced by the Orbit brew team. Fragrant citrus top notes lead into layers of familiar floral aromas with a tart, lemony brightness. The interplay of bergamots floral perfume and citrus tartness creates a refreshing and complex beer for spring. 



Friday 25th - Juan San Lucas DJ Set

Orbit Beers Taproom

Starting at 7pm, Juan is bringing down a selection of his favourite funk, soul, and house vinyl for your ears. Listen on Soundcloud.



Saturday 26th - Lentebock Spring Festival!

Orbit Beers Taproom

The Lentebock is back by popular demand this year, and we can't wait. 

Lentebock is one of Europe’s quieter beer styles, a strong Dutch-style lager, traditionally brewed to celebrate the changing of seasons. 

The spring festival will be a packed day of garden games, live music, a mini dog show, Orbit DJs, Dragon Flame Live Fire Cooking, and Lentebock-a-plenty! A true celebration of spring. We recommend booking in advance to secure a table. 

Your first 2/3rds of Lentebock is free on 26th with a locals card - see here for details.

The Lentebock:

Expect a rich golden-orange hue with a crisp, refreshing character. A gentle malt sweetness leads the way, thanks to a blend of lager and caramel malts, bringing notes of honey, biscuit, and bready cereal. This is balanced by a lively, floral, and herbal hop presence from Bobek and Tettnang. Expect a full, rounded body and a clean, assured bitterness leading to a beautifully crisp, dry finish. This Lentebock strikes the perfect harmony between malt depth and fresh, springtime vibrancy—a true celebration of the changing seasons.
